without Internet, cell phones, TV, and video games. Ms. Margaret wrote articles for a newspaper in

Australia, and had written several books as well. She told her children that if they agreed, she would write

a book about their experience and they could go on a trip abroad with the money from sales of the book.

Her three children agreed, and “the experiment” as Ms. Margaret called, began.

Over the course of the experiment, the Margaret children had different reactions to life without

electronics. Before the experiment began, Anni, the eldest of the children, read books more than her

younger brother and sister. She therefore had a relatively easy adjustment to the family s new lifestyle.

Anni could also use the library s computer for her homework. Bill, who loved to play video games before

the experiment began, had to find a way to spend all of his new free time. He started to spend more time

practising his saxophone(萨克斯管). Susan, the youngest child in the family, had the hardest time

adjusting to life without electronics. She felt restless for the first weeks and later, influenced by her elder

sister, gradually began to find interest in the novel experiences brought by various books.
