Laptop mummified!!!
I came across this website http://52nightsunplugged.ning.com. It is a grassroot movement campaigned by a group of tech greeks, internet addicts, Blackberry thumbers and compulsive instant messagers to wrest back control of their lives by daring to completely cut off from technology even if it is only for a day (a.k.a secular Sabbath) . It forces you to re-engage with the real world. One night a week for a year, you are going to completely unplug from anything with a screen.
Have you been scrolling up and down the mobie phone’s menu inhabitually when there are no expecting calls or incoming messages? Watching videos of Madonna’s latest MTV (Hard Candy) on YouTube for hours not realising you have piles of paperworks to be completed? Surfing on the Internet aimlessly at hime instead of going out for a run? In some cases, blogging in their dreams and hearing imaginery instant messages. Well, all these are tell tale signs of technology addiction. It is time to unplug!
Recently, Strait Times interviewed our very own local star blogger, Mr. Miyagi, mentioned that blogging has become a part of his life, he even blog while he is doing shitty business in the toilet. In this era, technology has taken over our life and became part of us. It is time to get your life back. Can Gadget-loving Singapreans live up to the challenge?
In this fast moving society, many work-obessed Singaporean being connected and cotactable 24/7 isnt just a modern day addiction they just cannot shake off, but a necessary evil to stay or get ahead. More Importantly, we have take for granted that email should always be replied to promptly, often within 24 hours and SMSes to be attended to immediately. Thus, the expectation has come about because norms have been formed around it.

Warning: Intruders will be executed!!!
Sundays are usually switchoff-days for me anyway, like many Singapreans, many waking up in time for lunch. For me, exams is only 4 weeks away from now. I am setting a curfew to restrict the number of hours spent on computer. It should be a breeze through as though. Leading a normal life. Ordinary indeed! Are you game for it? If you seriously considering to give it a try, don’t wait and start now. Haha. Look at what I have done to my sister’s laptop. Hehe.
