Because our Digital Overlords think tech is great for controlling, entertaining and exploiting the great unwashed masses.
But no tech for their kids.

We enrolled our daughter in the army cadets...she was a little frightened, and often felt scared about going.... Especially on camps. But one such camp, was way up north, on a peninsula, way away from any town. For a week... Living on rations and sleeping under a hoochie.
She came back....so energised!!!
She got to see the milky way in all its glory...
She got to taste the darkness of a moonless night...
She got to taste clean air, and smell the forest...
She got to stay up all night playing catch the flag....
She got to Sit around a camp-fire...
She got close contact with wildlife...
She got to make new friends, and laugh her ass of doing stupid shit...
And most of all...she got to connect... With her world... And her people.
