14 College Students and Technology 2

The past few days here at Marist have been beautiful, the sun shining and it hit 80 degrees. It's funny though because even despite the beauty of the outdoors, students cannot bare to give up there i-pods, laptops, and even video games. days like this are not meant for surfing the Internet, they're for surfing the waves at the beach, witch is why there are no outlets in trees and rocks. It seems so strange to me that people can't give up technology to enjoy nature anymore. I understand when you want to listen to music, i completely agree that any outdoor adventure is improved by the proper play list, but Facebook can stay indoors. That's what rainy days are for anyway, and there's no shortage of them in the Hudson Valley. So if any of my fellow classmates are reading this now, pick up a frisbee, go for or jog, or even just lay out in the sun, but i promise it's OK to disconnect every once in a while. Besides, that's why away messages were invented.
