We are now living in a world where having digital technology has become a big part of our lives. To adapt to human society in today's world, must one use digital technology?, is it possible to live comfortably without it? What is the big deal about digital technology? To what extent has digital technology changed and impacted our lives? To find the answer to these questions, I took a week off without using digital technology. This Blog is my medium of expressing my experience during this week.

Day 3 Wednesday, November 16th, 2011
Today was the third day I had to go with digital technology. I’m having trouble falling asleep early. I usually watch TV, or listen to music as I start to sleep. Living these recent days with digital technology, I find that I have more time with my thoughts. Without people to e-mail, or talk to, I’m beginning to think about life, like what I want to do after university, or how much time I waste, how can I make my time more productive. It’s really funny how much time you have when people are not on their laptop, or cell phone, or watching television. I woke up around 10:30 am this morning, I have a mounted battery run clock at my student house in the washroom. I have not owned a digital watch for a long time now. In fact I think that watches are redundant now that your smart phones can tell time. I figured I was too late to make it to COMM 2P90, by the time I would get there it would be 10:40, and I figured that the professor would not bother marking me down for credit, thus my attempt to even show up would be redundant because I’d be wasting my time. This is because I felt that showing up at that late of time would have been a waste of my time, if imp not even going to get a credit. I got ready and headed to school at 11; to make my 1 PM class called comm 3P65 class called organizational communication. I was done at 2 and had a seminar for world religion to get to. I usually call my friend Ibraheim to quickly cram the readings before this seminar; I couldn’t call him because of no cell phone. So I just had to meet him in seminar, and do the readings as the presenters went over the topics. After the seminar I still had a class at 4 to 5 for world religion, but I decided to skip it and just head home. There was a new episode of the Ultimate fighter, on TV tonight at 10, however I would be missing it. I didn’t really give it to much thought because I knew that I could , watch it at a later date online via http://www.tv-links.eu, which is a really good site for watching movies, or television shows online. Around 6 pm my partner for OBHR group named ashish showed up to my house. He just showed up to drop off the textbook that I lent him to do his journal articles. He asked me if my phone is still off, I told him yes. He said I couldn’t last, and I said I’m trying, I laughed and sent him on his way. It’s a good thing I’ve been keeping up with my journal articles before hand, otherwise it would have been harder to do it without my laptop. I cook up some noodles, and stir fry it with beef on my stove, I finish dinner and walk to a friend’s house across the street. We just sit and talk for about 2 hours. Till finally its 9:30. I head back home and do some readings for one of my classes. It’s now 11:30 and I’m really tired so call it a day. I put my readings away and head to bed. Its day four tomorrow, I hope it goes well.
