My family participated tonight and we spent the hour sitting on the floor talking … it was actually a great experience. At the beginning, my oldest daughter (11) said it best: “You mean we have to talk to each other – for a whole hour?!?!”

She survived as did the rest of us. I didn’t look at this as a way to “save energy” but more of a way remind us that we don’t need technology to have a good evening. It is what you make of it.
