ideas such as read, play a board game, sing music, go a bike ride, have a chat, paint? or something else?

I think we all take for granted technology and need to use our imagination more. what do YOU think?

   My family would have a deathmatch I think…..

2. But Inside I'm Screaming on October 23rd, 2009 11:58 pm

   Even with all that, we read alot, play board games, and ride our horses.

3. amybaby on October 24th, 2009 8:41 pm

   we would die

4. ildmus on October 27th, 2009 12:58 am

   I would sit on the floor playing row row your boat with my 4 month old son all day.

5. Mad Shark on October 30th, 2009 8:22 am

   I’ll walk around the streets and just stay Fresh there.

6. Beautiful Disaster ? on November 1st, 2009 5:23 am

   Listen to my ipod until it runs out of batteries.
   Go shopping, go outside.

7. ?U Have Ur Pain 'N So Do I? on November 1st, 2009 7:54 pm

   I would go to a friends house!! dey aint family.

8. dorygirl94 on November 2nd, 2009 7:50 am

   We’d probably manage just fine with books, talking, music and so on :o)

9. Kevin C on November 3rd, 2009 7:05 am

   we’ll all go crazy

10. Find your own way back home. on November 4th, 2009 5:10 pm

    we would find a way to access the internet, tv and electronic games

11. Gina D on November 7th, 2009 6:32 pm

    read a lot more then i do now.
    and probably play more tennis or play football with my brothers.
    and play cards.

12. Showman on November 9th, 2009 5:19 am

    I’d probably just exercise alone while my family complains about not having anything.

13. Katelyn on November 10th, 2009 8:37 pm

    Yeah my computer was broken for a week so I mostly just read. I mean I do that anyway but more so for the past week. Oh and I played my piano for a couple hours everday.

14. amberrrr on November 13th, 2009 7:22 pm

    That is the UNIMAGINEABLE lol!!!! basically we would chat, then probably argue!!! we could sing then probably laugh at each other!

    I would then invite my boyfriend over as I would have more fun with him….

15. ?8*1*08? on November 15th, 2009 10:35 am

    I’d just chill with my boyfriend all the time then.

16. crack_ho73 on November 17th, 2009 5:07 pm

    We’d all start drinking and try to forget about not having those things.

17. Pass the ?Puff Puff? on November 20th, 2009 9:22 pm

    we would all run wild through rainbows of magic carpets and flying convertible cars…

    you said use your imagination, right?

18. Mandz on November 21st, 2009 11:01 am

    We would end up killin each other, either out of boredom or someone would say something and well it wouldn’t be good =S Technology keeps my family civil :]

19. Tiggeress on November 23rd, 2009 2:21 am

    we’d be FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! yipeeeeeee!!!

20. JL3 on November 25th, 2009 11:32 am

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I always read whenever I have free-time.

21. ninetynine4one on November 27th, 2009 1:34 am

    We did this last month as an experiment for the family. It’s funny how much closer you can become playing cards, board games and simply talking to one another. No wonder families from “way Back” had so few problems! I think everyone should try it once. You will be amazed at what you learn about yourself and the rest of your family!

22. ?The Joker? on November 28th, 2009 6:10 pm

    It’s just me, so I would carry on reading more than I come online, watch tv, and such.
    We do take technology for granted really, and then over-react way too much when it dies.

23. KarmaTheJedi on December 2nd, 2009 2:36 am

    In my house we haven’t watched commerical TV in 2 1/2 years, we don’t have a computer (I’m using this at work), and no video games either. We talk, read, play, go out and actually live life! Imagine that! Actually living

24. kasedilla29 on December 2nd, 2009 2:40 pm

    you no that actually happened to my family once and my bros were out and my dad was asleep but my mom me and sisters just sang songs together and danced! it was actually really fun!!

25. mitsu_lover on December 4th, 2009 12:13 am

    I don’t take technology for granted I say my prayers to Samsung, Microsoft, and Sony every day! They even have a staring role in my grace at Thanksgiving…

26. K on December 4th, 2009 11:47 am

    most of my family would go crazy

    but i would just try to stay out of the house as much as possible
    like go for a walk or bike ride or something

    idk get a pet

27. Fr(-(-DoM_II522II911II on December 5th, 2009 6:28 pm

    The world would be a better place. Less developed, but less problematic social issues would occur.

28. Tony on December 8th, 2009 3:17 pm

    Without a doubt! Society in general is becoming detached, due to all the technology. We’re not interacting as we used to, and less activity!
    On the flip side, Michael Phelps would have gotten only seven golds in Beijing!
    Good Luck,

29. Scooty on December 12th, 2009 2:22 am

    We don’t NEED to use our imagination more, that’s completely based upon the individual. “Technology” isn’t going anywhere, we won’t wake up in the morning to find all of our computers and iPods have up and disappeared.

    On topic: I would read/be with my girlfriend, the computer isn’t my life, but it sure is great for killing time.

30. Noelle :o) on December 13th, 2009 1:22 pm

    I think I would die of boredom. But your right, most people do take technology for granted including myself. And I also agree people should use their imaginations more, but technology has made people lazy.

31. That Crazy @ss nigguh[Suspended] on December 16th, 2009 11:37 am

    talk on the phone

32. ??Golden Girl?? on December 18th, 2009 7:52 am

    hi im katie u???

33. don't rain on my parade on December 21st, 2009 12:41 am

    that how it was when i kid except we had t.v. and radio.

    bike ride
    swimming
    farm chores
    long walks where we actually talked to one another
    ride horses on long trail longs
    visit with and really get to know the neighbors
    lots of reading
    jigsaw puzzles
    visit residents at the local nursing home

34. ? Mommy ? on December 24th, 2009 8:16 am

    I agree. It’s the difference in our generation vs our parents. I would play with my daughter, read, scrapbook, clean, play outside, go to the park, arts and crafts.

35. svmainus on December 25th, 2009 9:23 pm

    We actually only have one tv and never turn it on. We are a family of readers. We also explore and listen to (and play) all types of music. We do watch movies - but we try classics, independent and foreign films. We play old board games. We also play a game called “dictionary” where we open up the dictionary and find a word. The actual definition is read - but everyone has to try to make up their own definition (before knowing what the real one is) - it gets quite amusing and hilarious at times. We also are a family of travelers and plan our trips carefully and study and learn about the places and the people in the regions we are going to visit. We plan short-trips to and cook and make picnic lunches and go to parks and historical places in and around our own home - there is a wealth of things to do once you pull all da plugs! lol

36. ? on December 29th, 2009 2:07 am

    That’s basically how I grew up. We were only allowed two hours of t.v. a week. We didn’t own video games and there was nothing to do on the internet back then. Mind you I am only 30. I didn’t care, I played with my brothers and sisters. Now I only watch about 3 or 4 hours a week. I sit all day at work so why would I want to go home and sit all night too.

37. Tony H on December 31st, 2009 9:22 pm

    Camping, snorkeling, community service, family projects, bringing the family together without technology is difficult in today’s society. That is the major reason for dysfunctional families. The family that plays together, stays together.

38. blessedman on January 3rd, 2010 9:14 pm

    I could go with TV and electronic games because I am not interested in either. However, internet access I couldn’t live without. Internet access is important to me. However, even if I didn’t have Internet access, I would be read books and magazines because I love to read.

39. leons1701 on January 6th, 2010 4:56 am

    Given that you just pretty much described the first 20 years of my life…

    We read a great deal, biked and hiked a lot and played board games at least once a week.

    When not doing family stuff, chores, homework, reading or the like, us kids were outside running around with all the other kids from the neighborhood, playing football, baseball, kick the can or just messing around. Sure, we’d go over to a friends house to watch TV or play computer games sometimes, but I never really felt I was missing all that much. Of course, given that we’re talking Colecovision and Commodore 64 games, maybe I wasn’t

40. Edgar Frog Rocks! on January 9th, 2010 10:45 am

    I’d read a book. I have a huge selection in my sisters room. She has like, a library in there.
