In just a few hours Shutdown day will begin. The Shutdownday.org site ask the question, “Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer ?” I had to answer with a “NO“. I just do not think that I’m capable of going 24 hours without my computer. And that is really a shame.
This Global Internet Experiment started in in early 2007. It’s purpose is to get people to think about how the increasing use of computers has changed their lives, and what they are missing out on as a result. Take twenty-four hours and use it to do other things you enjoy: time with friends and family, the outdoors, sporting events - you get the idea, find something away from your computer to do.
Although I answered with a “No“, I will do my best to be on the computer less tomorrow. Can you do the same?
