Answer 1

i think reading is great - my hubby and i bought a bunch of classics we had never read - 1984 for example, and are reading it to each other at night instead of watching tv

i would say the first thing to do is make some kind of record on how much you actually use technology, then you can set about figuring out how to use it less often

for example blow drying your hair : maybe if you have a haircut that doesn't look good towel dried you need to change your style to fit into your goal of using less technology

our last camping trip reminded us how much time we spent on things we didn't miss doing at all, a lot of it was stuff we thought was really important when we were home.

maybe when it warms up a bit, you could get some ideas that way?

good luck - i really think this is a cool idea that could prove useful if everything my hubby says about "america becoming a 3rd world country" proves to be true (he's political :D)
