Cell phone free days are a great addition
Didn't think of it for our house...because we don't use them at home! I WILL have to add this for my teenager though!

I think this is a wonderful idea and I think that I will have to try it. I homeschool my two boys, but my 11 y /o thinks he has to have the TV on when he is not doing something else. That or he is hooked up into the PS2

I think this is a great idea especially in this day and age, but I think telephones, especially cell phones should be added to tech free night. People have gotten so addicted to phones which are now mini computers, game machines, MP3 players, instant messengers, email senders and receivers, video players and so on... It has really gotten ridiculous. You hardly see people in the restroom, at the grocery store, in traffic, who aren't plugged into a phone these days.

so how about another tech free day?? yes i have the tv on most of the day. i live alone and i find it comforting to have it on even when i am not in the room.

We have done the same thing in my house, but it also happened to be "family game night" for at least an hour or two.
The only exception to the rule was the night we rented Monopoly for the Playstation ;)
Everynight however, is technology free when we sit down for supper. Cell phones get turned off, the ringer is off on the landline, and there is positvely NO TV while we eat.
Of course, we have exceptions for this as well..."fend for yourself night" and Pizza Night are both excluded...but those rarely fall on a tuesday ;)
