My Disconnected response

“Disconnected” Response

                After watching the video I realized just how difficult it would be to have life without a computer. Granted I am not as dependent on the computer as the people in the video, but none the less it would still be a challenge.  I personally believe I could last at least three weeks without a computer because though I do go on facebook a lot I don’t really HAVE to be on there.  Now if I agreed to not use my cell phone as well, that would pose a problem because I am always on my phone.  But I don’t have a blog or anything like that so I wouldn’t have to worry about that. I would need to check my email though because most of my teachers send out important messages to my email and if I wasn’t able to use my computer then I wouldn’t be able to check my email and I wouldn’t be informed about important things regarding my classes.  The three people in the video were all very dependent on their computers and that made it difficult for them but it seemed like in the end they realized that they shouldn’t make their entire lives revolve around their computers and that they should get out and be more social and be active.  And though they really struggled to abide by the rules, they still made it to the end.  Although technically one of them cheated by using a proxy even though they weren’t supposed to.  I think the moral of the project was to make kids realize that you don’t need computers for everything, and I think the three kids discovered that.
