I came across this great site that just launched.

It is called Offlining, and it urges everyone to turn off their mobile devices and computers, and devote real attention to the people that matter most in life.

Now who can argue with that?!
It is really very simple.

Sign up to “Take The Pledge” and commit to TEN no-device dinners between now and Thanksgiving Day 2010. I am going to do that.

We need that in the Rockmore household where we have 2 iPhones, an iPad, 3 laptops, a computer, 4 DVRs and who know what else…. Come join me. Leave me a comment and let me know that you are in.

Additional information is available at www.offlininginc.com — including e-cards and the opportunity to sign up to “Take The Pledge” .

How exactly does one accomplish this when all important people are online people. And no I can’t go plane hopping to all countries far away to meet up.
My social life is around the internet. Otherwise I have contact with my parents 2 or 3 times a week face to face.
