Can you unplug for a day, even a month? No television, internet or cell phones? Is it possible? I mean, can this be a reality for a week or even a day or two? We live in a connected world and our expectations have changed.
We’re supposed to check email multiple times a day and be available to take phone calls at any hour. This happens on the job front and in the work force, as well as in our collective businesses. And some of us are suffering for it.
The easy access and connection that was touted as the new way to create work life balance has, instead, stolen the life part out of the equation. I’ve seen a family in restaurants having dinner and everyone at the table is glued to a cell phone. What has happened in today’s society that we’re so dependent on our electronic connections?
Join me tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations Of A Sistah” for my commentary “No TV, Cell Phone or Internet?” Can you go without your electronics for a week? Or even a day?
Tune in and take the challenge!!!
All “Conversation links” in this post will access the show!
See you on the air!!

I think that “unplugging” is more about being IN TUNED than being distracted. Tuning in to find out.

Oh Lawd, no tv, no internet, no cell, no text messages, games or whatever. I think that’ll be the hardest part. I love to play my video games. I also have to figure out how to play music around the house (I currently use pandora.com or iTunes) and my nearly 3 year old LOVE music. We may just do a lot of singing. Sheesh
