Life Without Computers

I am admittedly addicted to my computers! (I have 3 in my office) I know exactly where my files are. I use Firefox "Foxmarks" which can be accessed from any computer with Firefox installed. And I can easily waste an entire day just fiddling around on different sites. I even watch ALL my TV on the network web sites, or on hulu.com. (I REALLY love Hulu!) And considering how much blogging we do, as well as updating our web sites, placing listings on multiple sites, creating fliers online, etc., etc., etc... I pose the question... what would you do if you were required to go "Disconnected" for 3 weeks? (I hyperventilate at the thought!)

Well, right now I'm watching a movie on my laptop, which is sitting right beside the monitor of my desktop computer. (LOL. This is how I work!) The movie is on Hulu.com called "Disconnected". It's a one hour documentary that follows 3 college students who are going computer-less for 3 weeks.

Considering how hard it would be for me to "disconnect", and I can't imagine how much more difficult it is for these kids who are about half my age! They literally don't know any other way. I just got the biggest kick out of watching them try to figure out a typewriter (couldn't load the paper) and look for the "delete" button. ROFL! And never one time did they even think about good old "White-Out". Duh! We still have to use that at least every once in a while!

Anyway, I thought you all might get a kick out of this documentary called "Disconnected". Just follow the link to watch it yourself. And if you feel like it, I'd love for you to come back here and share your thoughts with me. I'm still watching it at the moment, and they've already purchased watch-sized walkie talkies because they can't text each other. It's quite amusing. So go watch! And share your thoughts =)

... OMG! The library no longer has a "card catalogue" on cards. It's all computerized. The librarian doesn't want to help them! So the kids gave up and decided to go to an old arcade to play games there. HAHAHA!
