The Fourth of July is fast approaching – How are you celebrating our independence this 4th of July weekend?
We appreciate that our forefathers recognized & acknowledged that they were living under the tyranny of the King and were willing to upturn the status quo. We can view this struggle in real-time as many Middle Eastern nations are fighting against their oppressors to bring about real change.

In America, we are lucky to still have the freedoms won for us and guaranteed to us by our Constitution. However, we occasionally find ourselves under a different yoke, usually one of our own making. Today, many of us are chained to our technological devices – regardless of holidays, family occasions or vacations.
At U&R we’ve got some Fourth of July 2011 weekend ideas for you. We at U&R propose that you dedicate a portion of your holiday weekend to focus on the real meaning of Freedom and Independence and spend time revitalizing your human connections, free of technology.
Whether you are heading to the beach, holding a BBQ, or checking out your local firework display, take a TechBreak™ – make it a ‘tech free’ zone get your kids off of the computer, encourage guests to turn off their cells, even vow to not videotape the event so that you can be present and simply enjoy with everyone else!
Here’s a Fourth of July eCard for you to invite your friends and family to Declare Independence this 4th of July… from Technology!
