Tec free week for Yesugen.
Monday
We started a new project called “Unplugged”. Unplugged means we cannot use any of technology that we use daily. For example: cell phones, internet, music (mp3 players, iPods), TV and beauty stuff that we use daily (hair dryer). Starting from today I will try to reach my aim, which is to understand how I am dependent on technology.
I really had to contact with my friend that is leaving in the USA. It was emergency, and I had to talk to her. Plus, I had to watch TV! My little sister was crying and we were alone in our house. So I had to turn the TV on and put on MTV to make my sister calm down. She is one years old and likes music, lol. I think this is acceptable because it its right to judge something by its purpose. My purpose wasn’t just watch TV because I am bored or something like that . I think these reasons are acceptable. I didn’t go to hi5 and stuff. I did my homework and gone to bed.
Tuesday
This day was really successful for me! I didn’t watch TV, didn’t get into the internet didn’t used any technology this day. I slept really long and when I woke up I started to do my homework!! Wooho, isn’t it nice? Today I understood that anyone can live without technology if they really want to or if they have things that they have to do. Of course it would be hard to live without water boiler, microwave, fridge or something that like. Our goal is based on the technology that is not very needed but become our use and hobby. Many years ago people could just live without these things and succeed.
Wednesday
I had a bad day today. I just wanted to watch TV, listen to music and lay all day on my bed. Today I used the internet to do my homework. I think this project is going on well with me. I am sleeping, and after that instead of chatting on messenger, I am doing my homework. Today, a long as I can’t watch news on TV, I read some newspaper to see what is going around and asked my parents. I read my book that I have started months ago called “The stranger” by Albert Camus. I looked after my sister and cleaned the house a little. This is really strange that without knowing what I am doing, I tried to listen to music! But of course I stopped at a right time and didn’t use technology today.
There was nothing to do after all so I started to do my homework like from 7 o’clock! It is cool. Before going to bed I wrote this journal.
Thursday
I am so happy that this project is going to end tomorrow. I am really excitedJ. Today I came after school and slept. After waking up I went to swimming pool with my father. After that I looked my fashion magazines just to have fun. I looked after my sister as usual and started to do some school works. I gone through my old study books from previous schools no revise my science exam, I looked for physics information that I didn’t get during school. Before going to bed I finished some of my school assignment and wrote my journal for tech free week.

Friday
Today everything was OVER after 3 15. I came home and watched MTV and listened to music. Chatting with my friends was sooo enjoyable. I think this project was very useful. In other hand, besides from understanding how dependent we are on technology, this project is a chance for us to understand how patient we are. I think I am going to try to live without my cell phone and internet for a week during my summer break to see how it works.
