DISCONNECTED 3
If I was to go computerless, it will not be for long. I suppose I would have tried if I did it
for one day. The call to use computers is clear and tempting because it is all for the sake of
convenience. I may fail to watch a movie on my laptop, but I will not hesitate to use it to
research and write an urgent paper.
The Modification to Make for School
The modifications I would have to make for schools include buying notebooks for taking
notes instead of using computers, acquiring a transistor radio and DVD player and TV screen for
entertainment and acquiring a typewriter for typing.
The Modification to Make for Socializing
The modifications to make up for socializing include visiting friends during free time to
talk and pass time. I will also consider attending outdoor activities such as sports. I hope that
these activities will keep me busy and enable me to put aside my computer.
How Going Computerless Would Affect Others
These modifications would inconvenience others who are not used to my routine of
socialization. My close friends will start worrying that I might be having a psychological
problem. If I continue being computerless, I could lose my social circle.
Things I Could Get Done
There are many things that I could get done without computers. For instance, I will be
able to access entertainment. I will be able to communicate to friends and watch movies. I will
be able to get news by reading a newspaper. I can also go to the library to research, but the
quality of the research may fall less of quality because not all materials are accessible through
the manual method.
What Would be Different is This Project was Done Today
