I will be the first to admit that I love technology. Their is no question about it. I work in it and have technology all around me. The one thing we all need is face to face contact with people. Staying inside all day making use of technology is not good for you at all.
I look at the kids of my son’s generation. They all text their friends, chat on MSN and Facebook and play World of Warcraft. When I suggest they go play with their friends, Stephen looks at me and says he is. To some degree he is telling the truth. What I really mean is can you not put the computer games away and go out and do something? For a lot of kids and adults this is very hard to do.
Their is nothing more I enjoy then going out with my wife, friends or family to do something and have some fun. That something could be dinner, shopping, movies or even a sporting event. One reason I love to get out is I really enjoy human interaction. Their is nothing like getting out with the people I care about to have fun. Please do not get me wrong, I have great friendship’s on the Internet as well but we all need face to face contact.
It has been proven that healthier people are those who get away from technology out with people and have fun.
If you are the type of person who likes to be in front of technology all day, try and get out with some friends. Go to a show, a museum or a play and find out how much fun being out with people and doing things away from technology can be. You really will not regret it. It will make your life more enjoyable and make you healthier.
