The Look Around Not Down Challenge! I figured posting this would save me a lot of questions of my whereabouts and my actions over the next month so here we go... In about an hour, Ill be taking a personal hiatus from all personal electronics for one month. No phone, computers, social media, video games, TV - nothing. This is a self-imposed endeavor that Ive decided to undertake after observing how attached people are to their devices after much informal observation. Assignments for school have either been completed in advance or have been granted special permission from professors to be turned in handwritten. Ill only be communicating in person or via snail mail, so if youd like to contact me, please send me a letter! My address will be below. Some of my goals for my challenge are: 1. Overcome the allure of personal technology - its not vital to my sustenance! 2. Earn a greater appreciation for interaction with people since its no longer immediate; start a conversation with two new people a day. 3. Entertain myself with books, conversation, nature, exercise, and playing music at least 4 hours a day, instead of with Netflix or video games. 4. Learn to communicate the old-fashioned way - buy some envelopes and stamps (did that today!) 5. LOOK AROUND, NOT DOWN! Quit tuning out the world with my phone and earbuds and start tuning in instead. 1000 High Road, Apartment 504 Tallahassee, FL, 32304 Send me things if you feel so inclined! You need to build an ability to just be yourself and not be doing something. Thats what the phones are taking away - the ability to just sit there. Thats being a person. - Louis C.K. See you in a month! :)
