Computer Shutdown Day – Can you live without computer for a day?

Computers have marked their presence in our lives so badly that it’s next to impossible to live to without computer. On March 24th, we celebrate Shutdown Day to experiment is we can cope up without computer for a day. So far 12, 480 (at the time of post) have pledged to go without computer for a day. 1847 said they can’t. What about you?

It’s going to be hard, but I’m sure this day will make a big impact, atleast economically. March 24th falls on Saturday, so if you use computer in your office, perhaps you could take a day off. For me, it’s impossible to live without a computer near me.

If you’re wondering to do something else with your laptop, then this video will help you out. Mark 24th March on your calendar.

Update: I didn’t have coffee this morning, so I absurdly posted that March 24th is tomorrow. Sorry for the error

  • Anirudh: Initially even I wrongly interpreted it for 24th Feb, but the day is on March 24th (not Feb). Honestly, even I went without computer yesterday because I had to travel all the way from Mangalore to Chennai
  • What a coincidence. I actually went today entirely without touching the computer. We had a huge party last night and I was in calcutta. and came back at 2 in the morning. Went to calcutta again today. My system was on but does this count for me. I am trying to set an uptime record. My comp hasn't been shut down for two weeks and want to make it reach 4. I'll have to reinstall vista after 30 days :(
  • I cant leave without my computer even for 1 day...
    Its Really a tough think to do.
  • As a full time Internet marketer with over 500 websites I have to say I am addicted to the net.

    I just cannot imagine life without it. I absolutely love getting up each day and doing what I do and figure there are a lot worse things I could be addicted to :-)
  • I'm sticking to my PC
