Te Amish Challenge

To carry out the Amish challenge, I stopped playing the Goodgame Empire online game, that I usually play every day, for two or three hours, while I check my students homework.

                The first day I give up the game I was a little bit anxious because the game goes on no matter if I am on line or not, and I wanted to know what was happening there. The next day I stopped worrying about the game, but I needed some distraction because it if a hard task to check my students homework, and I cannot do it without a pause, so I checked Facebook and read more than I use to. Apart from that, my life does not change really in these days.

                I think that, nowadays, technology is an essential part of our life, and it is everywhere. I don’t know if it is for bad or for good, but I also do not know if the Amish life style is a better way of living (I would not like this kind of society control in my life, for example). I just believe that, whatever we do in our lives, we should do it after giving us a little time to think and being aware about the reasons behind our actions. For example, not to answer the cell phone, and interrupt a conversation or whatever we are doing, only because it is ringing; but also not to speak if you do not want or not have any interesting or useful to say, even when the customs of your society says that you have to have a constant communication with other people.
