If you thought going on a camping trip meant pulling out your dusty tent and scouring the woods for a secluded spot to settle, you're wrong. According to the Washington Post, these days people are now "glamping"- a word used to call camping for the digital age. State parks around the nation are now incorporating WIFI in some campgrounds as well as a complete camping kit they provide including tents, chairs, propane stoves, and lanterns. What do you think of that?
It's amazing how dependent our generation has become on computers, cell phones, and the internet. We can't even go back to nature and enjoy the outdoors without feeling "naked" if we can't check our email.
Despite the downfalls of becoming addicted to technology, it's smart to merge these two contrasting concepts together. At least state and national parks are doing everything they can to make our experience more enjoyable.
Let's relish this new idea of camping! Now we can sit out by the lake, fishing to our hearts content on the right while the football game is being broadcast from the flat screen on the left.
