Journal 23: Unplugged

If I were to go for an entire week without having electronics, I think I would do okay. Up until the end of the summer this year, I did not have a phone. But now that I do have one, I think I would still be okay. As for television or computers, I also think I would be okay in those categories as well because I am able to survive without electronics for a while, however, I think the one I would have the most problem with is my i-Pod and having to be separated from it. Because, I use my i-Pod on a daily basis, and don't know if I would be able to go a week without it. However, as for everything else, it would be somewhat easy for me to be able to go without them. On our last vacation, we did not turn on the t.v. nor use phones the entire time. However, we did use our car to get places, but I think that it was used out of a necessity, because it would have taken us forever to get to the places where we wanted to get. But as soon as we got to the entrance to the trails, we would then hike eight miles to a waterfall, and then have to hike back. We did use my mom's GPS, but just to see how far we had hiked. In the end we had hiked around 30 miles. I think the one thing I did like was there was not much technology out where we were. It was just us hiking, surrounded my nature.

To get back on topic, it was nice to not have electronics when I did go on vacation, but I was glad to have them back when I got home. If I were to go camping with no cars, i-Pods, phones, or anything like that, I think I would survive, but it would take me a little bit of time to get used to it.
