24/7 connectivity?

Although computers, the internet, web design etc are all part of our lifes no matter what. I just feel its important to mention here that there is a world outside of a computer screen. Its important to keep yourself active, get some fresh air now and again. So to those stuck on a computer all day every day. Choose a time to stop, go for a run or something and try n stay healthy!

Dont mean to sound like an old man, but i think its important especiallyin todays world.

Re: 24/7 connectivity?

Absolutely agree. There is more to life than a computer screen. You just need to know when enough is enough. And for some people that is very hard to do. I have a warning point I always follow. If I go back and look at a site more than 3 times in a row...I am off the computer! Works every time!!

What do you do for fun away from the computer goldy, Karinne, Sara?

I love to ride my horses and just frankly be outside with them...
I love to watch my kids play sports, walk, swim...
I do one of those everyday!

Re: 24/7 connectivity?

How true, sometimes I feel like I'm on the computer 24/7, except for the 2 or 3 hours that I sleep!

Away from the screen my bestest thing is to take my kids to the beach, we have lots of nice beaches in Kent, our nearest one is only 10 mins away - we like to jump waves, build sandcastles, dig big holes, and go rockpooling. Not so much in the winter though!

Re: 24/7 connectivity?

If only my day job would allow me some fresh air besides the fan on my desk.

Lacrosse and beer drinking for me.

Re: 24/7 connectivity?

The computer and the internet is my job, and my life. But, when I get spare time, which does not happen...I like soccer, swimming, basketball, water skiing, wake boarding...etc!
