Back To 1983

A day without technology, Is like a day without breathing. I spend the majority of my time texting, on facebook, playing video games, or watching tv, so this assignment was hard from the RUBRIC! Thank god i had a thanksgiving requiring loads of attention, and college apps coming around the corner. I cannot say that i was perfect though....

I started off the day, and already broke my assignment! My phone alarm went off at seven thirty, and i looked at a text message before i realized that i couldnt! So i quickly closed out of the text window, and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I made myself food, and began helping clean and get ready for guests. I looked at the clock and what seemed like hours was only ten minutes. I thought to myself, could my life really revolve this much around technology?!

I tried my hardest to not use my phone or the computer, and i feel i did an okay job for a novice. If i needed information, i asked and didnt look it up on my phone. If i wanted entertainment, i played with my dogs. So on the day went and it was very relieving.

We finished dinner, but then i broke the assignment again. I had to call my girlfriend for information on when i was meeting her. I felt terrible about it, but it was a necessity. I then drove to her familys house and enjoyed an amazing second feast. I was surprised what it felt like to not use my phone or other technology. I realized that i was alot more social than i usually am. i felt more comfortable talking to people, and found out alot more than i would just being quiet and relying on technology for entertainment.

I wish i could have stuck to the rules 100% and would greatly enjoy this assignment in the future at a time not around the holidays... LOL
