"Unplugged"

Today during seminar, we were represented with an idea.

"Social Experiment"

400 students in Washington are set to become ''unplugged.'' For one week, these teachers, students, and staff are going to see if they can quit Facebook, Twitter, texting and CELL PHONES! This is to see if they can encourage face-to-face communication which today is almost non-existant. Most business is completed via phones, emails, or other sources of communication outside the face-to-face business. How about you? How long can you go without using any electronics [excluding music etc.] or other devices? Me? I can probably last a week but it would be hard to resist checking up on my tweets or texts.
Are you going to accept the challenge? Only face-to-face communication? The world probably just stopped.
