A Day Without Media

Imagine this. You wake up in the morning at 11 a.m. You were supposed to be at class at 10. You look around for your cell phone, but you cannot find it. Obviously, the reason you missed class was because your alarm on your phone did not go off. You get up anyway and head into the living room and find that your brand new plasma screen HDTV is gone. Then you look for your laptop, it's gone too. Were you robbed? No, today all media has disappeared and you have fend for yourself. Imagine a day like this where you could not call or text anyone. You could not get on Facebook or check your e-mail. you cannot watch TV. You cannot get a hold of any media what so ever. This would be a nightmare. You would actually have to talk to people face to face in order to talk to them. How awful! Oh, and your iPod is gone too. Have fun not listening to music today either. This day seems to be getting worse and worse. What are you going to do? I suggest that we all get outside. Go for a walk, run, or ride a bike. Play a sport. Do something active. Take time to really get to know someone. Find out what they like and what makes them happy. Do something personal. Anything, it doesn't matter. A day like this could be useful to society. It would show us that we do not need all these things. We only need each other.
