Shutdown Day
On March 24, 2007, there supposed to be a Shutdown Day which is essentially a day where people unplug their computer for a day. I don’t believe it’s anything to benefit the environment, but more of a way to tell if you’re addicted to your computer or not.
I’d miss my computer, yes, but I could certainly shut down. I’ve done it involuntarily many times when my computer crashed a few years back and when I go camping (which is actually a nice break from the digital world).
I would have a problem with not being able to catch up with the various friends (and my MUD) for a certain length of time, like a week, but my life would not be over because I didn’t have a computer. In fact it may improve with less responsibility.
Perhaps I just think it’s silly that so many people are dependant on such things. Of course I feel that way about many things (girls that require 10,000 pairs of shoes, make-up, etc).
Give me a break

I didn’t use my pc for almost 2 weeks, and went online maybe 3 or 4 days that whole time. It was liberating.
(Due to issues with my new pc, family visiting, and loads of house stuff to do!)
