Vacation

I promised myself that this year I would take a much needed vacation from everything, but mostly from social media, and electronics. Epic fail! Even at the sea I had my ipad aimed at the sky moving it along the beach praying for a wifi connection. What is it that pulls us to be connected at all times? Layla posted yesterday that she felt uncomfortable without Goggle. So is the internet something that we need to take along on vacation? Or is it something we need a vacation from? I know my mom and Barbara find their Fish World games very relaxing. Personally, I get a lot of stress out by playing COC. My wife unwinds with Words With Friends. Has mobile applications become a substitution for a cold beer and cigarette at the end of a long day? I would think that its a healthy substitute, however I have heard doctors and specialists say that society has become obese and lazy because of video games and applications. I disagree with those statements. Its fast food joints and unhealthy eating habits that have made us obese and lazy, not the Legend of Zelda. A vacation is made to help one relax and if your electronics are relaxing to you, I say take them along on your vacation. Its YOUR vacation, make it what you want it.
