24 Hour Technology

I chose to go 24 hours without technology since it would be to get away from all the technology now a days. I unfortunately could only go 10 hours of the total 24 that we were supposed to do. I really broke down when it came to using my phone. I use my phone all the time to figure out who wants to get food in the cafe and whatnot so it's hard to not use it. Also Facebook was hard to get away from cause i usually check it multiple times a day if I have time. Also I couldn't go without listening to my music on my Ipod because music is such an awesome thing, it calms me down and makes me forget about everything that is going on in life. Living without technology is a great thing to do though, because it really shows you who you are, and it shows you how to have fun the natural way rather than using technology to give you a good time. Something I learned from this experiment is that technology is a great tool to use in order to get things done fast, but I believe that our generation uses technology too much. I mean I see that in our common room, there are people that all they do is sit on the couch all day everyday and play video games. That cannot be too healthy for someone to do. They should go outside and get some fresh Vermont air! My friends and I usually walk down to church street or down to the waterfront at least once a day. That is a great way to get out and get some exercise. Rather than sitting inside playing video games or something. I think that technology is necessary sometimes though, like cell phones are a great thing because you can have conversation with people and such, but it doesn't mean that you have to use it all the time. Just think of how different your life would be without technology. Just put yourself back a hundred years when they didn't have any fancy new gadgets, and think what you would be doing everyday with your friends.
