ENTERTAINMENT WITHOUT TECHNOLOGY
By Joshua Drewry
How do you entertain yourself/stimulate your mind without technology?
There are many ways I entertain myself and stimulate my mind without technological media. For entertaining myself, there are options that can fall under the - outside recreational activities – category. I enjoy playing soccer; a pick-up game of any sport can be great fun. Sometimes people are too stuck on having to play it seriously but pick-up games don’t always have to be about winning or losing. There are other activities to enjoy as well; some could be hiking, running, cycling, or rock climbing. Besides recreational activities, there are a ton of other things to do: hang out with friends to chat, drink boba, play board-games, go for a drive, take the train to DTLA or work on some kind of project.
​
Many things can be mentally stimulating as well as entertaining:planning an adventure, thinking of how to improve in a certain sport, engaging in interesting discussions, etc. There are also many things to do alone, like reading a book or doing homework. Books can be very stimulating; you can try to learn another language, study religious texts like the Bible, or even create and outline potential projects, work or business ideas. There are a huge variety of ways to stay entertained and stimulated besides the technology we’re so used to using!
