Here’s thought….
There is a conversation in the world that people, especially children, are spending too much free time in front of their computers. According to PCTurnOff.org, excessive computer time can lead to:
* Lower grades in school
* Weight problems
* Social isolation
* Attention problems
* Stress filled family life
(Of course there are other factors involved such as why a person and/or child would choose to interact with a computer over interacting with other people in person. Still the point is well taken.)
PCTurnOff.org is sponsoring a “Turn off your computer” week. They encourage families to “experience the off button” during the week of August 1-7, 2005. For more information, go to: www.pcturnoff.org
