Not following Paris Hilton or anything, but I am motivated to do something about how technology rules my life. I am inspired by Jodie here, when she posted it on her blog and invited her friends to join her. It’s called unplug. I will post what she said here.
Do you want to check your email before brushing your teeth in the morning?
Do you live for getting comments on your blog? Do you twitter at least 5 times
a day? How often do you update your facebook status? How many hours a day
is your tv on? How close to you, at this moment, is your mobile phone?Think about it.How hard would it be for you to unplug for one entire day?
no tv.
no phone.
no computer.
no internet.
Just you. Your life and your camera.
Think you could do it?
Join us and unplug for ONE day in the month of June. Whatever day works best for you and
your family. And then commit to it. No cheating. And document it. With photos or words or both.
Then share your day with us on your blog. July 1st. On July 1st we’ll all share our days, together,
on our blogs and spread the word to UNPLUG. Because I think a little unplugging is just what
we all need every once in a while. To give our creative selves a day off. To rejuvenate.
To just live. To be. Just you. Your life. Your camera.
Feel free to share this with anyone you think might want to join in.
I have changed a few words here because she did this last month, and I am so encouraged that hey, I have to do it too and I invite everyone to join me. So let’s choose one day this month and just use it to unplug and live the simple life, when all these technology is still an idea to be had. I do have some ideas of things that I can do and there’s lots of them but the lure of this pc screen and my laptop on the dining table is enough to put off having a rest, reading a book or getting my camera and taking some snaps.
And instead of blogging, I would post this:
To let you all know what I am doing on that day. And I will let you know all about my day on July 1st. Now, it could be hard or it could be so easy but I am pretty excited to see how I would go about it for that day. And oh, let me know if you decide to join me on this challenge, e-mail me or comment away so I know that I got company. So if you see this photo, you would know what I am up to that day. So, cmon let’s do it!
