Have you ever thought about what it would be like to live in a world where technology was non existent? I decided to go one day without the use of any form of technology besides what was necessary ( I had to drive to a doctor's appointment). I mainly focused on going without television, phone, and computer. Going in I was nervous because I am a very social person and like being able to contact people in minutes, but also ready to see how it would turn out.
Starting off was fine because I had class and didn't think about my technology much. But, after classed ended was when it got tough. I went to call my friend and remembered I didn't have my phone. I wanted to look up my score for fantasy baseball, but remembered I couldn't use the internet. I wanted to see what the score was to the playoff basketball game, but I couldn't watch television. I started to panic of boredom but managed to pull through and go play basketball. That took up most of the rest of the day. The next day I had 13 missed calls and 15 messages, these could have been important and without technology I wasn't able to know what was happening.
In all, the day without technology was successful in showing me how technology truly is in everything around us. As we have adapted to the advances we have become relied on technology and feel lost without it.
