National Day of Unplugging

Can you do it? Can you unplug for a day and put your phone down? National Day of Unlugging starts at sundown and continues until tomorrow at sundown.

It is easy for me, I don't Facebook, Twitter or any other social media with my phone or anywhere else and I don't use it unless I have to. I often go places without it. Can you go a day without your phone?

peasants, i haven't owned a phone for about a year now

I actually stopped using my cell for a few years. It was so... relaxing not having people calling me all the time, not dealing with text messages, not getting sucked into stupid facebook shit. I work mostly on computers anyway, so when i step away from my computer, i dont want to be drawn into online bullshit.

conveniently I am going skiing tomorrow somewhere with no internet access or cellphone coverage. Leaving tonight around dusk, getting home tomorrow around dusk. Should be easy!

I dont ever mess around with my phone out of boredom anyway. I dont do facebook, twitter, or ig. I find if I have a book on me, the urge to use the phone dies.

Only time I do social media is when I take a dump. Granted, it leads to some nice 20 minute constitutionals, but I don't really do much on my phone outside of text and calls.

If it was a Wednesday maybe I would of done it.

I should, but I won't.

No. I want to stay plugged into the matrix.

I've gone several weeks without using my phone due to training in the military, so unplugging for 24 hours would be a piece of cake. I'm not even counting the time before I owned a cell phone or deployments where cell phones were banned due to security reasons.

I hardly use my phone or visit any social networks as it is, even sometime going days not using them. So a single day wouldn't be a problem for me...

Social media is dumb. Avoid it like a plague.

However I won't stop using my phone as I need it for work.

I also appreciate the irony of using social media to promote a day without social media.

I have a home phone, but nobody calls me :(

I like the fact that no one calls.

I don't even have a smartphone; just a $19 flip up phone. I'll ask the wife and the kids. They're the ones with the expensive smarties.

I'll tell em. But, they'll probably look at me like I'm a total idiot.

I had my phone in my pocket while getting my haircut and grocery shopping but didn't look at it once.
