November 14 - this week I learned

This week I did not learn about anything to do with school or work as I was on holidays. What I did learn though was equally important as it was a reminder about how we can live without technology while we enjoyed a wedding and a week with 42 people, some who we knew and many who we just met, at a resort in Mexico. This was a group of people who all work, and who all rely on blackberries, laptops, cell phones (at a minimum) and computers every day, and we all made a conscious decision to leave it all behind and focus instead on sun, sand and friendship. For me, this was the first time in five years that I went on a vacation with my family without any electronic devices, and boy were they happy. Me too.
