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 6, Saturday, November 19th
Today was probably the hardest day of the week without technology, because it was the weekend. I had no obligations to go to school. So I had no excuse to be anywhere. I felt like a socially disconnected looser. I woke up at 10 am, but lay in my bed till 1. I had absolutely nothing to do without a TV, Xbox, computer, or cell phone. I took a shower at about 1:30 and poured a bowl of brown sugar frosted mini-wheat’s. I decided to put on my sweater and go for a walk around the neighborhood. I figured I could get through Saturday by going on a long walk and hanging out at people’s houses that were walking distance away. I walked to Stefan’s house at 259 Glenridge. I walked inside, and he was chilling in his room watching online TV show’s and drinking a few beers. I asked if he had cards and he said that he did. I suggested we play some cards, and ask if his roommates wanted to join. We got Stefan’s roommate Stephanie, and Eugene to join. We spent 3 hours talking, drinking, playing poker, blackjack, bridge, and crazy eights. It wasn’t too bad. At around 5:15, we stopped playing cards. I said my goodbyes, and left the house. I walked further down glenridge and decided to stop at saeeds house. Saeed was a good friend of mine from first year. He lived in an apartment building on the 14th floor. Saeed was studying with his roommate sohaib for an upcoming accounting exam. They said it was okay to hang around and talk a little bit, because they also needed a little break. We caught up on things that have been happening recently, as well as the good old times on Brock campus village residence. We chilled for about an hour and a half. I decided that it was enough, and it was time for them to continue their studying. I left and walked the long way home, going down glenmorris, around the Penn center back down Glendale again. I got home at around 9:30. My roommate and her friends were in the kitchen pre-juicing for going out. They asked if I wanted to go, I declined their offer. I was tired from walking around all day, so I just decided to go to bed. I lay in bed for a few hours, I read a bit of making ideas happen, and drifted into a sleep. The next and final day of the 7 day project was coming the next day.
