No Technology Blogpost

Your second blogpost for this week is to not use Communication Technology for 24 hours. Communication Technology includes:

1. Cell Phones/Telephones/Texting
2. Internet (message boards, IM, blogposts, Facebook, Myspace, etc.)
3. Television
4. Radio


Since your generation defines itself as being a very "tech-com" generation, think about what becomes important once you take away the technology that defines you. What effect does that have on your life? What experiences do you have without these communication technology? How do you see the world differently? Your blogpost will consist of these type of reflections.

I will be looking for at least a substantial blogpost this time. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it should reflect your experiences without communication technology.

Some caveats to this assignment:
1. Make sure you put up one blogpost that says "start" and then, when the 24 hours is over, put up another blogpost that says "end" and then begin your reflection. I want you to put up both blogposts so I can see the time signature of the blogpost so I know you spent a full 24 hours without communication technology.

2. Let people know ahead of time that you will be without communicaiton technology for a while. If you need to talk to family or significant others, set up appropriate times. I don't want you to miss out on your job or your family if it is important. Just be aware of the assignment and keep the "spirit" of the assignment. If you feel that it goes against the spirit of what we're trying to do, find an alternative.

Have fun with this assignment! And make sure you reply to this message after your done with your assignment.

(PS. Make sure you do the other blogpost below too. If you still haven't finished the previous blogpost, make sure that that blogpost is finished before this blogpost).
