TECH FREE! by Sam Winton Have you ever wondered what it would be like to give up technology? I'm a TV journalist and I spend a lot of my working life in front of a computer or a TV. I decided to conduct my own private experiment: I would spend a day trying to manage without technological devices. What a scary thought! The first thing I usually do every day is reach for my smartphone to check the time and read any messages or emails. But I'd locked it away in a drawer the night before. Already I was feeling very cut off from the world, and it was only... actually, I had no idea what time it was! After breakfast, I needed to get some cash. Inevitably, this meant a trip to the bank because cash points are technological devices. I had to queue, but I had a very nice conversation with a woman whilst I was waiting. Not surprisingly, the bank teller thought I was a bit strange withdrawing money this way. I think she thought I was a robber! Then it was on to the supermarket. You may be wondering what's technological about that. Well, I had to make sure I avoided the self-service check-out and joined the queue for a normal one - with a real person. Naturally, it took longer, but I had a great chat with the guy who served me, and he told me about a new club that is opening up nearby. Would I have found out about that if I'd gone to the self- service check-out? No. Afterwards, I came home to have a go at writing a news story by hand. Strangely, I found it easier to concentrate on my writing. But my hand and fingers got really sore! And I have to confess - by this stage, I was having to make a real effort not to get my phone out and check my messages. I was starting to wonder what my friends were doing. Maybe they were making plans to go to that new club, and I would never know! All in all, I wouldn't say I could live without technology. Predictably, I really missed my phone all day. The worst part was not being able to check updates in the news or from my friends. I felt very out of touch. However, I kept to my promise of a tech-free day and I did have more face-to-face interaction. Undoubtedly, it made me realise just how addicted to technology we all are.

Alexa and Brittany were best friends. Theyâd known each other since Brittany moved next door in 2nd grade. They hung out almost every day after school⌠when they were getting along, that is. They were very different people. Alexa did great with her school work, read a lot of books, and took ballet classes. Brittany, on the other hand, would rather play soccer, chat with other kids at school, and rarely sat still for long enough to finish reading a chapter of a book. Often, Alexa and Brittany would play together at the park across the street. Theyâd play on the equipment, play tag with a group of neighborhood kids, or play soccer. If it was raining outside, theyâd go in one of their houses to make crafts, play video games, or do their nails. Some days they could spend hours together without a single problem, but other days they just could not agree on what to do. âCome on, letâs play on the equipment. Weâve played soccer for the last three days!â Alexa said. âThey just cut the grass, I love playing soccer when the grass is nice and short. I donât want to play on the equipment,â Brittany replied. âWe always do what you want to do Brittany, itâs my turn to choose.â Alexa was getting frustrated. âFine, go play on the equipment by yourself, Iâm playing soccer, â Brittany shouted. Grade 5 Reading Comprehension Worksheet Reading and Math for K-5 Š www.k5learning.com Alexa left. She was fuming. When she got home, she realized she still had Brittanyâs notebook. Well, Iâm not giving it back today. Iâm too mad at her. Alexa thought. The next day at school, their teacher asked for their notebooks. Brittany didnât have hers, and asked Mrs. Stone if she could bring it in tomorrow instead. Mrs. Stone let us have one late assignment a month, but Brittany had already used hers. Brittany looked upset, and walked quietly back to her desk. Alexa was having an internal conflict. She knew she should tell Mrs. Stone that she had the notebook, but she was still mad at Brittany for not compromising with her at the park yesterday. When it was time for lunch, Alexa hung back to talk with Mrs. Stone. âMrs. Stone, I have Brittanyâs notebook. I should have said something earlier, but Alexa and I had a problem yesterday, and Iâm still mad at her. Would you be able to help us solve our problem?â Alexa asked. âThank you for being honest, Alexa. Iâm sure Brittany will appreciate that you gave me her notebook when you could have made her get another late mark instead. Iâm glad you asked for help solving the problem. Itâs really hard to solve a problem by yourself when youâre still feeling upset, so this is a good solution.â At recess, Mrs. Stone sat and talked with the girls. They each revealed that they get frustrated with the other person a lot because they donât always want to do the same things, but they real ized that they never really solved their problem. One of them just always went home. Mrs. Stone helped them realize that maybe they didnât have to play together every day to be best friends. They decided to just play together a couple times a week, and take turns picking the activity. Alexa and Brittany were hopeful that this would solve a lot of the arguments theyâd been having lately!
