The tech free challenge, Part 1

In class the teacher has decided to assign us a project in which we will be giving up certain technologies for 24 hours and then ironically blogging about the experience. in this assignment we are supposed to chose from six different levels, level 1 being the easiest, and number 6 the hardest. The different levels are also labeled with years, to give us an idea of what kind of technology we will be giving up for 24 hours. For example, level 1 is labeled with '1995' which means giving up the Internet, cell phone, mp3 players, so-on, and number 6 is labeled with '1850' which means giving up car transportation, all of your electricity, telephone usage, and no restaurants. Intense huh?

I chose to level 2 to do my tech free challenge on. It's date is 1985, and I have to give up computers, video games (such as PlayStation 2), potable electronics, no Cd's, no DVD and no TV.

I don't know how hard this will be but I will find out. I mean I don't have Internet at home but I still type a lot, so it will be interesting to have to use paper and pen again to write any thing I want to, (which is why I didn't start writing story's until I could type... but oh well.)

I don't know how I am going to deal with out my Cd's, well luckily for me there were radios in the year of 1985, so I will have to listen to the radio for music and deal with all of the commercials...Yuck!!

Not being able to play on my PlayStation will make things interesting too...

I don't quite know what I hope to learn from this experience... I think for the most part it will just remind me of when I was littler. Maybe I will relearn how to play out side again... alone... or maybe I will just read all day. That's what usually happens when I don't feel like doing any thing else. We shall see!
