A Plea for the Physical

    In Kate Braid's essay, "A Plea for the Physical",she suggests that there are two types of activities that occur in our every day lives. There are the "sedentary" activities which tend to be more stationary, while on the other-hand  "physical" requires you to be more active and to move around. Although it is essential to have briefly equal amounts of each every day, I personally tend to lean towards the sedentary style. However, it wasn't until I graduated elementary school that I became more of a lazy, not-active type of a person. 

During my early childhood  I was always full of energy. I would always go outside to see if I could find something to do. From picking snails off of rocks to falling from my bicycle, I would always do things that captured my interest. However, as I moved into high school, I began to go outside less and less as homeworks piled up higher and higher. Things started to change for me. As I sat around at home doing homeworks and playing games, I have been brought to a new technology that fascinated me. Computer. It was the computer that brought me the same type of thrilling sensation that playing outside had previously brought me, except computer didn't require you to move around. And as my time spent on computer increased, my time spent enjoying the fresh air outside decreased. Eventually, I would become adapted to this type of lifestyle which will probably bring health concerns near the future.
