Day Without Technology

For my day without technology i decided to not use my phone or facebook. I chose to keep my iPod. Through the entire day i would casually reach for my pocked as if my phone was ringing, but i quickly realized i had turned my phone off for the day. It really is tough. However much people want to deny, its true, that when we stand around waiting for the cross walk, waiting for the bus to come, or waiting for your next class, it seems you cant sit alone without checking your phone. I found it difficult and realized how much i am attached to my phone, and the gadgets it has. I think the easiest way to around not having technology for pleasure, is to constantly be around your friends and doing something. I know when i'm with my friends, and were all talking or eating out somewhere, i hate having to keep checking the vibrating text in my pocket. Plus, its less of a distraction, and is easier to stay plugged into the conversation at had. Because, we have all had that text message that rubs us the wrong way or is not to our liking, and while with friends talking or out somewhere, our attitudes suddenly change and become less sociable.
