If someone told me that I would have to be technology-free for 24 hours I would probably have asked them for a tranquilizer so I could sleep through the horrid day.

From the moment my alarm clock goes off in the morning to the time I set It at night I am using some sort of technology. I couldn’t even eat lunch at school without the help of those little machines that take our meal plans. Last week I did my best and tried as hard as I could to be free from technology. Obviously, being at college made It Impossible but it was a good experience nonetheless.After my alarm goes off, It’s time to take a shower. The lights aren’t necessary so I leave them off.

While people would be forced to walk most places I think that they would Just choose to stay closer to home.

On Mondays I have geography and my teacher lectures with the help of Powering. Since there Is no way I can copy notes from Just listening I once again must give In to the machine. On the way back from class my roommate and I cut through the Science building to make our trip shorter. It isn’t until I am through the second door that things we take for granted.
