A Day Without Cell Phone and Internet Access.

I could only imagine what it would be like to be "unplugged" as they say. I would like to do that at some point in my life but it has gotten to the point that I really kind of have to be connected at some point of every day. My girlfriend is studying abroad in South Korea and the only way to keep in touch especially because of the time difference is for her to text my cellphone from her computer. If I was unavailable then she might wonder what happened or something of that nature. I use the internet for all kinds of things every day as well, right now I am using it to complete this assignment for class and if I didn't do so then I would be out of an assignment grade since my professor doesn't accept late work under any circumstances. My mother also lives in Panama and the main way we keep in touch is via Skype or Gmail chat both of which utilize the wonderful services of the internet. I would feel extremely awkward without my cellphone, especially since I don’t do much besides go to work and class and go to my apartment. It would make my already boring life about 10 times more boring. I think that the internet and convenience of a cell phone are definitely abused to an extent but I also believe that they are somewhat necessary in today's society. I can remember when I didn’t have internet access at my house and I didn’t have a cellphone. I went outside a lot more and I spent more time with my cousins and family. Now I am in college though and I am constantly on the move and without the internet and my cellphone I would probably go weeks if not longer without talking to my family and that wouldn’t be a good feeling.
