The world, or at least a day, without computers

What are you doing tomorrow? Well, I can tell you what 54,300 won’t be doing: turning on their computers. 

Dubbed by its creators as “one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the Internet,” this Saturday, March 24, is Shutdown Day. The idea is that for 24 hours, those brave enough to accept the challenge will abstain from sending email, checking their NCAA brackets online and engaging in any other activity that involves a computer. 

I know, it’s a scary proposition. A whole day without my trusty laptop. How will I find out the results of Anna Nicole’s baby’s paternity test! Oh, the humanity! 

I for one am going to give it a shot, though. Are you up for it? Send me an email and let me know. I’ll get back to you on Sunday.
