Can you still remember the time when there was no smart phones, iPads, or any other tablets? What was our favorite pastime during that time when we are waiting for the MRT or bus?
Now-a-day, everyone in the world had a common pastime, and that is 'lowering our heads everywhere we go' , in Chinese, '低头族'. Even if you are with your friends, or love ones, you'll still be pressing your phones all the way, isn't it?
Just few weeks ago, while dining out, I saw a family of 4 dining at a restaurant, with minimal interactions. All 4 of them are playing with their mobile phones and iPads, and the waitress actually approached them more than 2 times to get their orders. After their food arrived, they still did not talk to each other, just eat and continue looking at their mobile phones and iPads. Why eat together if you do not intend to interact with each other?
Set a day of outing and leave all your gadget out for the day. Interact with each other instead. Stop looking at your mobile phones or iPads and start looking at each other in the eyes... Enjoy some together time without all these technology. Instead, Give your love ones the attention they've been longing for.
