I began this experiment on Sunday the 18th of September 2016 at 12:00 a.m. That entire day I disconnected myself from any form of technology (Mac, iPhone, TV, iPod, Headphones, and PlayStation 4). When I awoke around 8:00 a.m., I felt a responsibility was lifted from me – that constant urge to check my devices for any new updates. I kept myself preoccupied with activities such as strolling in Morningside Park, reciting/memorizing poetry, singing in the choir, catching up with my reading (that includes class reading), and relaxing with my family. During the course of the day a little voice in my head was taunting me to reconnect – “it’ll only take a minute.” I fought that temptation for the rest of the evening. My little temptress used my father’s saying when eating dessert against me – “Sometimes the best way to get rid of temptation is to give in.” The next morning, I arose at 6:00 a.m. and automatically turned on every device. All the missed updates were pouring into my notification center and then suddenly I felt the burden of responsibility on myself again. It is interesting to me when I first connected myself to the Internet, I felt a false sense of happiness. But very quickly that happiness just desolved into anxiety and somewhat regret for turning the devices on. In some way I was happier when I was not connected rather than being always on. In life you need a balance of on and off.
