I loved the dance party the best!!! Penn Charles really has the moves!! I joined the laughter when Kim was doing the water fountain!! Hysterical!!! Thank you for the laughter!
I'm older. And I still navigate without GPS. I shop Fargo, ND. Which is about the size of Raleigh. I never look. However, the city has grown and I'm not good with the new parts of town. Thankfully, the city kept the same numbering system so it works.
The Holderness Family In your defense though, it would've been awfully boring if you had just TOLD us what was going on as opposed to us SEEING it. My wife, 15yo daughter, 4yo son, and 3yo daughter love watching your videos!
This is an amazing idea. Congratulations! We have had shorter periods of this in my home. Mostly for the kids. :-) I don't know if I would be able to survive a digital diet. I work in technical support and spend my life administering computers and digital devices. It would be good, I think, to have 48 hours without technology. Perhaps during Christmas vacation. Thanks for the videos! Keep up the great work!
+Greg Corley I totally recommend it. It was such a wonderful time. We are trying to disconnect after 5pm and just focus on the kids and homework and family time. It doesn't always work -- but we learned a lot from this.
I applaud you for doing it, especially because of your kids who have been surrounded by it their whole life. I am really old-fashioned concerning technology, although I am only 27 years old. I have no smartphone, my cellphone survived a tractor and is 15 years old. I can text single texts and phone someone when needed. I have no phone at home. I own one laptop to check my mails and a radio for the kitchen and recently we got a TV. And that is all I can think of which can be labelled as digital.
There's a lot of evidence suggesting that older people are more susceptible to these devices. They don't cope with "screen addiction" as well as kids probably because they didn't grow up using them. You're obviously more used to them and that might be a good thing... But anyway congratulations!🙌
I absolutely could not be without my technology lol.Kudos to you guys for doing it though! Saw my first holderness family show on up tv the other day.Pretty cool :)
hello friends This was interesting. They had actual human conversations and they paid close attention to what the children were doing. I think the bicycle riding practice was much better quality because Penn was totally focused on the present moment.
DUDE ! You guys are officially on my fave things list. I love your vids and much like Herpes in highschool I'm spreading you guys everywhere! God bless your beautiful family. I would soooo watch a weekly show with you guys.
I’m like penn I can’t fall asleep without hearing or reading or watching tv I need somthing my brain won’t just fall asleep by itself it needs somthing to soothe it to sleep lol
Every once in a while, I do a 3-day silent retreat at a Jesuit Retreat House in Colorado. No phones or other tech allowed. It's bliss as you live communally with everyone, but don't speak. The walks are beautiful and peaceful and the naps are amazing. The only real "tech" is the one clock in the dining hall so you know what time meals are. I imagine you could bring an analog little clock for your room, but I love losing track of time. It's daytime... off to explore the grounds. It's nighttime... time to make some tea and go sit in the library and read! For someone who works digitally and online, these retreats are so re-energizing!
They hooked the landline up. We still have them in our house. My nephews don't understand how we still use landlines. I know it's horrible but hey when the powers out which phone still works an doesn't need to be charged.
Awesome challenge. My daughters preschool does this challenge for a whole WEEK! My 4 year old was ok with it but my 11 yr old daughter was beside herself. LOL I think everyone should have a family game night. :-) Love you guys!
Everybody should do this on a regular basis to prevent from becoming disconnected with hard reality pre satellite/internet no pun intended. It's a cold turkey can't function conjunction junction what's your function situation. I need a fix man !!! Stage 2 fireplace and flashlights only.
I don't have a cell phone. Never got one. It is weird how quickly people became addicted to them. People used to make a grocery list but in your video you didn't seem to even think of that.
Amazing what happens when you disconnect from electronics. My kids talk to each other and play together and are actually out of their bedrooms. I would love to go back to flip phone era, no digital screens or ipads.
Lola at the dance party looks like she just got back to the Future from being a go go girl in the 1960s on the TV show Roland and Martin's laughing in.
hi guys, I 'm from Brazil , great video. Excellent idea , nowadays people seem to be sick for technology , it seems a joke, but it is something very serious
First, find a copy of "The Joy of Cooking". It will let you know how to prepare almost anything. Second, purchase some books. Especially books that you will read, and re-read because the stories are old friends. Their is nothing quite like holding an actual book in your hands to read. Buy some board games. Some classics like Monopoly stand the test of time, but their are many new games that are very fun to play. Many 20- and 30-somethings have regular game nights in their homes for their regular groups of friends. I am not technology adverse, but I refuse to be ruled by it. My not-smart cell phone is in the console of my truck, turned off. It is there in case I have an emergency.
That is an awesome idea! Technology had such great uses, but is very over-used and abused these days. By both adults and children. Yesterday I forgot my cell phone at home and left for work. 11 hours working on a computer, but I still felt a little lost without having my cell phone within arms reach. I'm a bit paranoid about being reachable in an emergency situation, like while driving. But everything was just fine!
Suggested this to my husband, he stared at me, blinked and said “but it’s football season”. 😂🤣😂
Eileen Welter lol
Try it now not as much football anymore
I find it funny how while they have no electronics I am watching this on my electronic device
Helen Elgie That is so true!!!
Helen Elgie yea
Same
Yeah
Same!!!!!! :)
My mom suggested this and my dad said “****** NO!!”

I know I'm 5 years late, but Penn Charles is so ADORABLE!
ZERO technology... except for the cameras... hahaha
+Stephen Nesbit Ha! so true!

Exactly what I was thinking
They don't deserve 517k subs
They deserve 100000! Let's get them more!
I just subscribbled...!
Ty!

@@theholdernessfamily It's really important to disconnect. I wonder if you could do it again.. kind of a "five years later"
Curious, where did you find the recipe for crepes?

Lol my mom makes them as kinda a family recipe
cook books
Loved the dance party/contest! The digital diet could be fun and I would read the whole time. Which isn't much different than usual though.
It's ironic because without technology we wouldn't be able to watch this video...
@@eliseschwieterman6256 true
@@eliseschwieterman6256 true!
They used technology to MAKE THE VIDEO. LOL.
Although, I guess filming their weekend is a little different than WATCHING videos.
That “ah” after pen Charles drank water sounded so refreshing
For some reason I want to drink some Aquafina water.
Omg same
I wonder why 🤯

Wow. The kids look so different. (Hardly surprising, since it's 2021 now and 6 years is a long time for growing up but wow.)
Watching this makes me feel like I'm missing out because my brother can't speak as he has severe autism.
4:39 huh? Me and my family never use GPS. Like, ever.
Awesome idea! We are for sure going to try this. Maybe make it a one-weekend-a-month thing!
Oh boy...my how 2020 has changed us😞🤦♀️🤷🏻♀️.
This is so awesome!!!🥰
That's awesome thank you for the inspiration and idea
That would be impossible for my family
Same
Same
Yea
At 4:20 omg 😂 That’s me in the morning 😂
I love yall so much yall are so funny
Who knew that the game would soon be sold
Only problem with this is then you lose views! So then you lose money!
Ginny Weasley what?
You guys should do a digital diet in quarantine
Yea!
The bad thing about that is what if there is an emergency and you need to call 911 it would take you a lot longer to get to your phone
They hooked up land line
They hooked the landline up. We still have them in our house. My nephews don't understand how we still use landlines. I know it's horrible but hey when the powers out which phone still works an doesn't need to be charged.
Well they had the phone on the table that has a dial
That's why we still have a landline.
Amazing video😍... Really want to try it now😃
Just all those plastic watter botles... Auch😬, do it with the reusable ones please 😅🙏
Oh my I need to do this but i dont think i could handle it! I would be in withdrawl like 80% of the time lol
Me waching in quartine when you are doing all of these............
I couldn't do this in quarantine! To hard!
Awesome challenge. My daughters preschool does this challenge for a whole WEEK! My 4 year old was ok with it but my 11 yr old daughter was beside herself. LOL I think everyone should have a family game night. :-) Love you guys!
Best wishes ❤️
Good job! I could never do it!😂

2020 anyone? And if they did this in coronavirus it would not work because everything’s on their computer like work school everything
They did this over the weekend 😂
😊
Them dance moves
like, I don't know how I would survive, but this looks really productive lol

This is great, helps us remember how it use to be! Thanks for sharing.
Now I see where the idea for your board game started. :)
When they were talking about the water program thing, I started drinking Gatorade XD
I can't live without my phone and iPad and iPod
Imagine going on a digital diet during quarantine!!🤣😬😐
Emmy Kaemerer omg i couldnt
Kaitlyn lashane Cline I know. Me either.
@@emilykaemerer7391 I couldn't either!
My favorite part is when Lola decorates penn this would be a nightmare for me especially during quarantine
Wow, this was amazing!

hi guys, I 'm from Brazil , great video. Excellent idea , nowadays people seem to be sick for technology , it seems a joke, but it is something very serious
Love the wood countertop.
3:18 lol #showthetoes!
4 yes I'm trying that challenge

Great, although I'm not a fan of bottled water! We should probably all try this!
I dare you to try this during the lockdown. ;)
I'm here 6 months later and were STILL IN QUARANTINE
@@ash_lovesbooks I'm here 11 months later and were STIILL IN QUARANTINE
I would soo request this to my family but only my dad and i would make it! My moms whole job is on her phone! I bet it was fun for you gyse!
Weren't they videoing this how did they do it without electronics
camera man
Vienna Riter They werent using there phone so the camera was the only eletronic they could use
If they would of done this in 2020 they would have screamed their hearts out!😂
In their offense, Raleigh is a big city for people who live in NC and I can see how they lost the store.

When did u get your stove and oven, it looks really nice!

Sad.
YOU CAN WEAR STUFF FROM WHEN YOU WERE 13?! Whaaaaaa?? how fun!!
How did they record this then?
Good idea guys
we really need to do this!
Great idea. Everyone needs to be on a Digital Diet.
I do other things while I have most UA-cam videos going though some things I fully watch
Meanwhile I'm watching this at 2:00 am
I wish I were them so badly
How did you film it though? Because you're talking into the camera during the no tech time
That’s a lot of devices
I have my tablet and that’s it
No phone until I’m fourteen
Also great video!!!
I cant survive 10 minutes without electronic
Great idea...but I ain’t doin it 🤣
Where did you find the crepe recipe? Just curious.
How did you film this if there's no technology?😋 you guys are amazing
this would be inpossable in2020
Penn Charles is soo cute
ooh,.... nice!
I want to do this
We know our town 😂😂
Basically a camera is technology
Hi lam from iraq 😀 I like this family
You shouldn’t drink Aquafina because for some reason it doesn’t freeze and so my family doesn’t drink it!

I just watched it yesterday. So I am
2021 here

Kim has got moves
