It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh (叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. 【1】 We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

Most people in our lives know they will not be able to connect with my family by using computer or mobile phones for 24 hours. 【2】 We call it our “Technology Shabbat (科技安息日)” which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he had got brain cancer(癌). Some days he would have only one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging (全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.

【3】 Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state.【4】 and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking (连接) from website to website or sending messages or 3-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded (超负荷的).

【5】 it’s necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.

I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat”.

B.During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows.
