Modern technology is so firmly entrenched in our lives that even during the holidays we cannot part with them. Moreover, rest now, it seems, is to use the Internet, computers, phones and other gadgets.

Some twenty years ago, we had to send a card and wait in line at the post office to tell family and friends about how we are well on vacation. It's now much easier.

Now Wi-Fi available in most of the civilized tourist destinations. Lying on a lounger by the pool, we can learn about everything that we are interested in: schedule of meetings of our national football team, tomorrow's weather or which restaurant to go tonight. Smearing sunscreen, you can send SMS to friends or MMS with the view from your room colleagues may rejoice in the office.

According to the research of scientists from the University of Michigan, easy access to the Internet and ubiquitous personal devices to adjust their operations and the nature of our holiday. According to ScienceDaily, the use of smart phones on vacation increases, on average, three times, mobile phone by 15%and the number of journeys in the Internet increased from 70% of the house up to 80% on vacation.

It looks like obsession. iPad and smartphones, of course, intended to ease our lives, but don't we lose more than gain? Trip on rest and tourism, after all, have the main purpose of the change of environment, nature and people. It would be nice if we did not forget about this.

If you feel unable to resist this habit, go on vacation away from modern technology.
