In the summer, me and my brother had a challenge which was not using technological devices for one month. The point of doing this challenge is there will be a winner. The loser is going to give two hundred dollars to the winner.
At first everything was normal I woke up brushed my teeth, did my breakfast and then went for a walk after a while ı back to my home and I wanted to help my mother with washing the dishes but I remembered that I couldn’t use washing machine to put the dirty plates etc. so I cleaned them with a sponge, at the same time my brother wanted to use phone to spend time but ı said to my brother that don’t you remember our challenge? My brother said to me “I want to use my phone. Whenever ı’m bored ı used to spending time with technological devices, ı think ıt would be so difficult”. “We don’t even finish one day.” I said “It’s not just phone technology is everywhere, ı cleaned all the dishes with my hand !” The first day finished by cleaning the whole home, reading books, creating DIY things, and doing sports. From the first day ı already used to living without technology but there were a lot of difficulties which is not knowing the instant news at the moment. The second day in the morning my dad said to my brother, get two bread and some stuff for making breakfast. When he left home after 10 seconds he, rang the bell and said “I can’t go to the market for walking! It is too far away from our house. Can ı just use the car for once ?” I laughed to my brother “are you giving up right now, the second day you will lose.” my brother said to me “ı use to use my car, phone and the other things that help me to not be tired so, yes ı will give up. Let me give you the 200 dollars let me feel free, okay?”
From that time everyone in my family especially my brother, understood how technology covers us. We can’t even breathe without technology but if we have a technology detox ıt would be good for our well-being because sometimes the internet can make us negative. Without technology, I continued for one week too, after my brother gave up. I realized that ı spent more time with my friends and family, ı became more creative because technology makes us lazy and makes our brains blind us.
