take away technology with fantastic results at least in this case

At my fire house we recently lost our computers and internet access, but thats a drawn out legal battle we wont get into. This actually had a flip side nobody thought it would, the bonding that came about was unbeleivable. Most of the guys except for a few would usually be on line for one reason or another and kinda be hidden most of the day. Now the guys are hangin out all day telling stories, playing board games pitchen in cooking. Its funny how the lack of technology has made us a tighter group, and we are the better for it. Im not saying we shouldnt have acess to computers I think its a good thing to have for us on many levels. As for bringing us together as a group its what we needed. Just thought I would share.
Take care and be safe
