If you're looking for a little boost to your grade (an excused missing homework, or if you have all of your homeworks, 5 points added to your lowest article grade), complete this extra credit over the holiday break:
For 24 hours straight, I challenge you to have absolutely no interaction with any electronics. That means no computer, no cell phone, no T.V., no iPod, no radio-- nothing. If you can't make it 24 hours, take note of how long you lasted, and then write a paragraph on your blog detailing the experience. You'll want to address the following questions:
-How long did you last without any interaction with electronics?
-What difficulties did you experience while avoiding these devices? How did you feel?
-Did you find any surprising benefits from the experience? If so, what?
-Which piece of electronics did you find yourself having the hardest time ignoring? Why?
-What did you learn about yourself from this experience?
This must be completed on your blog no later than Sunday, January 2, 2011. Happy Break! :)
