Tech time is the term that I use to control the amount of screen time on my iPhone and iPad. Being an avid traveler and adventurer, life happens not being on the screen.
Like many parents and educators who are concerned that the younger generations are hooked on technology instead of playing outside after school and on the weekends. I believe that adults are the same who might need to set boundaries for themselves.
At home, I have responsibilities of taking care of my house, of my finances and, most importantly, of my felines Bella and Luna. All the above put limits on my time online along with my obsession with vintage British crime drama of Agatha Christie and other writers that I watch on television.
My setback is that I’m fortunate enough to be in contact with my former classmates and friends who I have known since first grade. With that being said, it is awesome but we bond on Facebook that adds to my screen time and theirs quickly and substantially.
Truthfully, I get tired of being online because I work on a computer all day long while folding outgoing mail and talking to customers on the phone. At lunch, I check my emails but cherish time not being online.
Life is meant to be lived fully for the unknown time that we have on earth. Setting boundaries for oneself and the next generation is critical to live a healthy life. Get outdoors and discover the beauty of our planet.
Yours Truly,
Leslie Elizabeth David.
