Shutdown For A Day!

Author: r. nelson

22 Feb

I can do it. Of course knowing about it this far in the future does help. I am not only going to take this as my computer but all devices. My cell phone, iPod, laptop all gone for the day. I think it will be rather refreshing. Who knows maybe I will like it and plan more day’s like this. Can you do it?

I found this out from Jeff over at (jeff)isageek.net

Well March 24, 2007 is being called “Shutdown Day” where people all over the world shut their computers off and do something else. Could you do it?

It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?

Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!

Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?

Oh i had not thought of everything…might have to make an exception on the cell phone but only for calls not text messages or surfing since it is my only phone I would hate for my wife to be in the hospital or something and not be able to know..hehe

but i like the idea of extending it to all electronics…heck lets throw the tv in there to!! The DVR will catch anything anyways.
