The next time you're out in a public place, like a park or a restaurant, look around you. What is happening? Some people are surfing the internet on their phones. Others are wearing headphones, listening to music on their MP3 players. That's just the way life is today. We all spend a fairamount of our time connected to technology.
Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets we take for granted these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book when you want to find anything out. You play outside with friends in the real world instead of playing online video games in virtual worlds. There are no texts, no DVDs and no email. Welcome to 1986!
That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year. Blair, 27, Morgan, 28, and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their cable TV, smartphones, internet, new games console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav, and instead used an old TV, a radio, old telephones, a VHS video player, an old games console and maps. They decided to try it after seeing how their young children were becoming dependenton technology. They aren't alone. More and more parents today worry about the effect technology is having on their children, particularly very young children.
The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did they find their year without modern technology? ‘I thought Blair was mad when he suggested doing this whole thing,’ says Morgan, but it's made me realise how much time we wasted. We seem much more relaxed now, not checking in on email or Facebook all the time.’ The McMillans are now back in the present with a different attitude to today's technology. Blair said, ‘I'm not anti-technology. I wanted to taste, and I wanted my kids to taste what it would be like without it, and to see if we could actually do it.”
