Give up my computer for a day? No thanks!

|

shutdownday.gif A group of people (I'm not sure who exactly), are organizing something called Shutdown Day, which calls for people around the world to shutdown their computers for an entire 24 hours on March 24, 2007. The point of it is, apparently, to see if people actually can do it, how many actually will, and what kind of reactions will those without their computers have.

Sure, I could survive for a day without the computer if neccessary, but it wouldn't be a smart move on my part to do it voluntarily. I make a living online, and being away from the computer would seriously hurt my income. This whole thing reminds me of the turn off your TV days, except by asking people to shut off their computers, they are asking people not only to give up a source of entertainment, but for some, a source of their income.

I wonder...instead of booting up a computer, how many people will just connect to the net on their mobiles? Will you be participating in this huge global experiment, or will you be like me and continue your computer use?
