No Media – Weyman

I knew right away that going a full day without my internet media would be challenging. As it turned out, I was not able to go a full day because I had prior commitments that required internet access throughout the weekend. I managed to find a time from lunch until about 10pm on Sunday to perform this experiment. A few hours without my laptop or phone proved challenging. After dropping the media, I began to notice that I would feel my pockets out of reflex as if I had gotten a text message. There of course was nothing there. I was lucky because though I didn’t have my media, I still had a full day planned out. I went to several places including peoples houses. One thing that was strange was actually walking up to the door and knocking, as opposed to text/calling them saying that I was there. In my life, my general connectivity to others was lost, but a more close connection to myself was found. Those who dont have this luxury of internet must be very in-tune with themselves. I would imagine that things like finances would be difficult. For job searching, it would not be that bad because managers prefer to meet the applicant in person as it is. After coming home and picking up my media again, I found that I had many text messages and notifications lined up. It just goes to show how much other people have been using their devices.
