Honestly, and this is probably a significant indicator that I would benefit from Turn-Off Week, I just can't imagine it.
I work on a computer, keep track of friends on Facebook, and, yes, I even Twitter occasionally. The television is my friend! The cell phone can be a lifeline literally, or a lifeline when I'm stuck in a doctor's office and need to call or text someone that I'm going to be late (or just to play a game on while I wait). And my ipod -- don't even get me started on it. Let's just say that if there was a way to hook our ipods up to an IV, I'd be all for it.
But boy, just taking stock of all that makes me realize how tech-dependent I am for not only my work, but also my entertainment and parts of my social life. When I think about turning all -- or even some -- of these devices off for a week, it makes me wonder what I'd do with all that extra time?
And if I did find ways to fill that time, would I enjoy it as much?

I wonder.
Will I try it? I'm thinking about it.
