I chose to sacrifice my cellphone for 24 hours last week Friday, and it was an enlightening experience. For the whole day I was constantly worried that my parents would try to call me with some emergency, and would be unable to contact me. This caused me a great deal of anxiety and distress. Also, it was a bit of an inconvenience not being able to call my friends before meals. I had to plan my entire day ahead of schedule. Although having to plan ahead wasn't a enormous tragedy, it did shed a great deal of light on the fact that I depend on instant communication way too much. It's pretty pathetic that it causes me anxiety when the possiblity of having to go to meals alone arises.

It would be so hard for me to give up my cell phone for 24 hours! I would feel so disconnected from my friends, even though we are on the same campus and live in the same place.
