    It makes it much more enjoyable and much more fun to where you have a conversation with people instead of being distracted by technology. Also you enjoy the nature and stuff going on around you while your eating.

    I can reduce my electricity usage by turning off lights when leaving the room and unplug chargers when not using them.

    IT is powered through electric power lines. It impacts the environment greatly where it takes up space to put up power lines
