Technical activity automatically eliminates every nontechnical activity or transforms it into technical activity. This does not mean, however, that there is any conscious effort or directive will. Jacques Ellul

Life without Technology
I read Allison's post about her challenge about no technology for a day (just 24 hours and half the time you are sleeping hahah) and I have actually tried this on my own and succeded. I honestly had to leave my phone at my house for the day or else I know that I wouldn't be able too. Allie said that she couldn't do it and she began to have the fake vibrations from her phone and that made me laugh because i did the exact same thing except... my phone was not even with me. I freaked out a few times because I thought I lost my phone and couldn't find it.. again, it wasn't even with me. I am so used to having my phone and being able to be connected with everyone! I would play games when I was bored, text my friends, search on the internet, and check my e-mails all on the go and with the touch of one button. After I got over the fact of not having my phone and told myself that I am going to feel much better after not being engaged in my phone all day, I serioulsy felt so realived. I felt so aware and thankful and honestly more happy. I literally felt like I had a weight lifted off of my shoulders and I felt so proud that I did it!! Now, every once in a while I will make myself go a day without my phone, or any technology... it truly feels so nice, you should try it!! You will feel like a brand new person.
