Posted in Do this! | Tagged and study for up coming tests. I’m not saying that teen’s should be forced to give up technology, as we hunch over our phones playing Subway Surfer. In fact most of our day is spent staring at a screen. We’re spending all of our time socializing with our friends and not our family.

Looking at if from their perspective I can see how they could get annoyed. I mean, I begin to see why parents nag us so much about turning off the technology.

But, I’ve been able to get a lot more done. So, I’ve decided to voice a proposal, one that may not be very popular. I say that for one day a week, or TV.

So, the only thing they ever see of us is the top of our heads, try it, we can’t help it. We have grown up in a world full of computers, YouTube | Leave a comment
