Without a computer? I think I’d have to be on a hiking trip and only then would it seem natural. I cut back significantly, though. I must admit, when I was fresh out of college, I did an absolutely-no-media week, but for work, which forbade music, talk radio, newspapers, books, magazines, television…EVERYTHING. Boy was it tough. I wrote a lot of journals, exercised more, watched sunsets, hung out with friends at bars, and actually tried water-painting out of absolute boredom. It spurned a bit of creativity, that’s for certain.

It is very sad that those Florida kids couldn’t fathom giving up ANY of it…

Agree: Seriously, turn off the phone, computer, TV, go hang outside and see the sun. Use a pay phone (after copious amounts of Lysol spray), or mail a letter. It may change some perspectives in life, and open someone up to “wanting” to experience more.

Disagree: At 18-20 my cell phone was the only way in which to communicate with my beloved friends and family. My friends were always on the prowl: From friends house to the park, to the mall, to our favorite hang out. If it weren’t for my “celly cell”, my BBQ, frisbee, and basketball expertise would be severely lacking.

Apparently most swords have 2 sharp edges.
