Twenty four hours without technology by Marianne Collins
Could you spend 24 hours without the Internet? I'm not sure I could I haven't tried for a ridiculously
long time. These daya we all depend besvily on technology, and you may or may not be surprised by the
results of some recent research about the effects of online and digital technology on people's lives. More
than half of the people who were questioned said they'd feel 'upset without an internet connection even
for a short time. The researchers also challenged people to spend one whole day without using technology
and then report back on what it was like. For some people it was like a nightmare, and many did nothing
more luantum theit phones to silent Nearly half of them said they felt lonely when they weren't using
Xil networking sites, updating their Facebook status or texting. It was younger people who found
giving up technology harder, but around a quarter of people actually said they felt freer without an
Internet connection It also meant they found time to do something they wouldn't normally do, like reada
novel Others said they enjoyed spending more time talking to friends and family face-to-face. So, what
about you? Could you take the Internet challenge and spend 24 hours without going online? If you do it,
please email me and let me know how you found it
