This, this, a thousand times this.

I wonder if the prof would accept a paper about giving up due to your overdependence on technology. I bet you could ham it up and have a decent paper along the lines of what he wants to hear, anyway.

You'd have to take the angle on how technology has taken over our lives but if you wrote a really good paper, I can't see him failing you.

Hell, if I ever had that type of assignment and failed, there'd be... problems.

It'd be honest!

This.

I slept for 3 hours today between classes and am now bored shitless.

Draw on pencil and paper.

You don't need to use your tablet to draw. :V

It'll be fun!

I'd be bored crazy as well. Pretty much be begging for work(Though I'd have to tell them that I can't be a backup cashier since that is technology...)

I've been mapping out areas in Volta for 3 hours. I'm tired of pencil and paper for the moment.

But yeah, I've thought of doing that.

Maybe I'll see if my friend wants to try what I have done in Volta. He hasn't played it recently.

I would just read the Bible.

Over and over again.

Until I began babbling quotes at people and scared them away.

Well at least you could explain to people what John 3:16 means when you see a sign at sporting events.

Buy a newspaper, it'll at least occupy some time with the crosswords and puzzles and all that.

(Or, like we've stated, you can just blow the whole stupid fscking thing off.)

Which is what I've decided to do.

I went 24 hours, I know what the rest of the 48 would bring. I can bullshit this. I already wrote yesterday's response, I just need to write something along those lines for today and tomorrow.

Congrats on blowing this off. It's pretty easy to write a paper without taking technology out of your life. ____________________

Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with a TV, computer, or video games, but this really doesn't seem like a big deal to me. If you can't bring yourself to go just three days without these things, then maybe going without would be good for you. God help you if you lose power for an extended period.

There's a difference, though, between being unable to use things whatsoever for such a reason (referring to a power outage, here), and stupid restrictions such as what was stated.

I've gone bits of time without internet access (or even phone access, lol AOL) and I did just fine. It started off a bit awkwardly, but I got over it within a day or so.

See, stuff like this is easy to do when needed, or when you want to take a break.

But this whole thing was just stupid. Congrats on blowing it off.

I think you need to end the paper with something along the lines of...

"Near the end, I heard a voice. The teddy bear on my shelf - a bear that I've had since I was 4 years old, mind you, and which sits on the shelf as a reminder of my childhood - started to talk to me. He offered to take me into the land of Make-Believe, and I was sorely tempted to join him.

Then, my alarm went off, the 72 hours were complete and I rushed to my computer to note down this strange occurrence."

Being told not to play stuff, uhhhh I do it anyways.
