Can You Go Without? Shutdown Day

Posted by: Chris in Internet

I’ve seen this in a few places now: Shutdown Day.

It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?

Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!

Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?

Somehow I doubt it ;-) It’s scheduled for the 24th March, and if you visit the site, you can click on whether you can or can’t; so far nearly 10 times as many people say they will go without their computer, as those who can’t.

Cany you? Will you?

    I think I can, as long as I have books and/or tv. I occasionally have days on the weekend when I don’t turn the computer on, weekdays are a little more difficult as computers are kind of essential for my work.

    normally I would say I couldn’t. But since I will be on Spring break then…. I will and I CAN!
