No Cell Phones At Camp

I was reading an article that gave me something to think about. It was about how most camps do not allow the use of cell phones or internet for their campers. It's weird, one wouldn't think this would be an issue, until you realize how plugged in we are as a society. I mean think about it..not just the kids texting on their expensive cells and listening to their expensive ipods filled to the brim with music they purchased online, it's me, writing on my blog, checking my e-mail, updating Facebook, etc. We're all guilty of this. I mean i've had weeks where my computer wasn't working or the internet was done for a few days and I wasn't sure what to do with myself. After I got used to it, after the initial "culture shock" of not being able to heaven forbid, check my facebook or look up something on imdb.com, I actually find it rather freeing to have an excuse NOT to get online. It was kind of nice. We are waaaay to plugged in and relied on technology.
