Holiday from a computer

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

I wouldn’t be able to pick a picture from the computer or a website to write and continue shaping my thoughts into a post. Life without a computer was terrible especially for minds like mine that love to write and express freely. Without it, I’d feel lost.

The reality is, while some people still prefer the old life without computers, using one today is so much easier. My 83-year-old mom is a pro on Instagram, Facebook, and Threads constantly updating her travel adventures on these platforms. My dad, on the other hand, is still stuck in his old ways, living a life without computers and relying only on big machines to keep the cycle of his world going.

As for me, grooming my thoughts without a computer feels impossible. I also enjoy playing games, both online and offline, but I’d never want to be stuck only with old arcade TV games.

The only real break I take from the computer is when I’m traveling. That’s when I don’t need to do any work online and that, to me, is what a true holiday feels like.

    I really like how you wove in the contrast between your mom and dad here—it shows how differently people adapt to technology. Your honesty about feeling “lost” without a computer is so relatable, especially for those of us who use it as both a creative outlet and a daily tool. And that bit about travel being the only true break from the screen really hit home—such a good reminder of how stepping away makes us feel free. 🌍✨
