The first no-computer day

After carefully checking my UCal, email account, and webvista course website, I left home Friday morning without my laptop, intentionally. The first no-computer (office) day turned out to be a productive and healthy one. I was able to concentrate myself on reading a book the whole day, uninterruptedly most of time -- first ever in a few months. And I played badminton which I have don't in three years. Everything reminded me the beautiful old days of the "pre-Internet era."

Since when we have been so obsessed with Internet, email, or cellphone? Do we really need to have instant access to all information -- be it global news or personal messages -- all the time? Never been a big fan of TV programs and glad to have quited cellphone, I hope to have some more "unplugged" days, just like this peaceful quite Friday.
