I was thinking, I've been really busy lately with work and personal projects, having to spend a lot of time in front of the computer at work and then in front of my laptop at home... I'm glad and thankful that the friend's birthday party in the suburbs that past weekend gave me such perfect opportunity to have some time away from the computer screen. Even if it's just one computer free evening and one morning away from it the next day, it's still good for the eyes.
I agree... our eyes need a break. Have a great day Julia. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou should sleep a little, it's the better cure! Furthermore your eyes would be closed ;))
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree! It gets insanely tiring to keep staring at screens constantly... and you lose so much time! Remember when we were young and playing outside was the highlight of our days? We have a good number of elementary-high school kids in my block and I hardly ever see them playing outside. There's something to be said about good, down and dirty fun in the sun!
ReplyDeleteSame here! If I'm not on the computer at work, then I'm on the laptop at home, and if not that then I'm on the iPhone! Lol it's bad.
ReplyDeleteOh you are right. I think we actually don't realize HOW MUCH TIME we spend (and quite often waiste) infront of the computer.. So it is a really nice change to go out and socialize with people in the real world:D Or even just to watch a movie at home, or to read a book.. or to cook something delicious. I think we'd to all of it more in the absence of the internet.. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of this!
ReplyDelete;) Thanks
Guillaume, oh sleep is the best remedy for basically everything, true that!
ReplyDeleteYJ, sad indeed. I think parents should really be on the lookout for how much time their kids spend staring at all sorts of screens, but some just don't seem to care. I hate it when kids before 3 even get a little exposure to TV.
I am Khatu, exactly... I'm the same. Well, at least I've been trying to spend the time in front of all teh technology productively lately.
Café Naïveté, true about us not even always realizing this! The screen world consumes us too easily lol
So true, darling!

..brilliant post as always ..make you think again ..but about me I can say that I'm not computer girl at all , it's probably because I'm too daft with all the technics : ) computers make me tired very quickly ..I am more creative person on the other side of the screan ..I agree with the sleep - the best for everything ..have a nice evening darling and fresh morning with wide eyes : )
ReplyDeletei spend WAAAY too much time in front of the computer.
ReplyDeleteEyes are a good thing to be mindful of. Glad you got some time away from the 'ole screen. It can distort one's perception--literally--when you sit with it for too long!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, do you go yoga? I think it relief your neck or back pain...(at least helps, i think)
ReplyDeleteOh, today I bought Mascapone cheese ...n' tasted it...grr....I didn't know it is not sweetened....silly me!! I guess I have to drizzle honey over it n' pour it on pan-cake or waffles this weekend when I made that for my kids. :) And you know what, these days I totally obessed w/ Russian tea cakes...you know the kind w/ white powder suger n' lots of nuts inside cookies...geez, I ate 3 in 2 days n' just got another 3. I love to eat it as my breakfast or tea time snack. It is insanely yummy to me. (well, I don't know if it really is from Russia...haha...)
true! i had rest from my computer when we lost our internet connection :))

Omg, joei, I would totally DIE with no internet connection! lol Oh and I'd fail my own project while at it too... lol
ReplyDeleteAmen! Computers can be so addicting and often I forget to step away.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...I find myself having to peel away from the computer (time really does fly when you're working on what you love) but everyone needs a break sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, what did you write? My eyes are too bulged out to read.
ReplyDeleteGraham, too bad you're not going to see this either - LOL!! :)
