En esta charla, el joven orador Simon Gong relata cómo un corte de luz inesperado llevó a su familia a pasar tiempo lejos de las pantallas. Explica que su aburrimiento no se debía a la falta de actividades, sino a haber olvidado cómo disfrutar de las cosas sin tecnología. La charla analiza cómo alejarse de los dispositivos puede abrir espacio para la conexión familiar y experiencias significativas. Se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente por una comunidad local.

“I wasn't bored because there was nothing to do. I was bored because I had forgotten how to enjoy things without a screen.” Through an unexpected power outage, Simon Gong discovers how stepping away from technology can create opportunities for family connection and meaningful experiences. As he reflects, “Maybe sometimes, when the lights go out, we finally see.” My name is Simon. I go to OLPH and I like being involved in school. I have a leadership role at school and I also go to Scouts. I like playing games, hanging out with my friends, and trying new things. I also enjoy helping people and being part of different activities. One of the things I’m doing this year is TEDx, which is something I’m really excited about. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
