going offline

going offline I mentioned in a recent post that I was thinking of going without the internet for a week just to see how much it actually impacts my daily life. I started thinking about it more and decided I am going to expand on it a little.

In addition to not using the internet I will try and refrain from using any other electronic devices. No Ipod, no cell phone, no text messaging, no email, no apps, no watching tv or movies, and no playing video games. I use a computer most of the day at work, so I will restrict my computer usage at work strictly to the jobs I am working on. The only other exception will be emergency phone calls.

I was trying to think of reasons why I shouldn't do this but the only thing I could think of was that it isn't convenient. That seems like a lazy answer. I am not sure what I expect to get out of this and it may not be interesting at all, but how will I know if I don't do it.

My week will start Sunday May 13th. I'll post something after that for those interested in how it went.
