Technology?

My brother has always been the guy that came home from school, went into his room and played NBA 2K(fill in year here) for hours.
I was and still am the kind of girl that is always on my cell phone.
However, at camp these things do not exist.
When my brother first started going to camp he was so mad that he could not bring his xbox, playstation, gameboy, etc. He literally had no idea what he was going to do if he could not bring any of these things to camp. However, the activities offered are countless!!! I know my parents always told my siblings and I to go outside and play. But, when we had these awesome things inside like computers, TVs, playstations, etc. why would we want to go outside???
But at camp, there is no option to stay indoors and play with out fun things. We have to go out in the fresh air and do any activity that comes our way.
Every year when I go and have to leave my cell phone at home, it is like I am losing a piece of me. But, I always feel liberated when I do not have my phone. I am not pressured to be on it all the time and I can actually do fun things rather than sit on a couch and look through Instagram all day. By the time me and my brother get home from camp, we do not want to use our technologies because it feels so weird and different without them. But that does not last too long because we have to catch up on everything we missed out!

I know this may seem so horrible because we live in a world where technology is everything. But it is so nice not to use technology for a couple of weeks. Instead of calling or texting your friends and family, you get letters and packages instead. When you hear your name get called for a package, it is such a great feeling. And when you read a letter, it is so much more than a casually text of "hey what's up?" The letters are pages long explaining so much, and you would never get that if you had a phone with you!
