Thu Mar 22 20:41:48 PDT 2012

I have been trying this on Sundays...it's very 
peaceful.   and it's green! internet usage 
represents 9.4% of total US electricity consumption per year. mb

It's hard to imagine that just ten years or so 
ago, people were trying to decide if they really 
needed a cell phone. now, we have facebook, 
ipads, twitter, is it possible to unplug?

take a break from logging-on, updating, or 
compulsively checking your status and have a 
time-out one day a week.  Turn off, tune in, 
reboot.  Learn what it feels like to walk down 
the street with nothing in your hands.

A Provisional Guide for Observing a Weekly Day of Rest

What is this?

a creative project designed to slow
down lives in an increasingly
hectic world.

Ready to take the unplug challenge? We have 
teamed up with 
<http://www.causes.com/causes/648905-national-day-of-unplugging/actions>Causes.com 
to create an Unplugging Pledge that asks people 
to take a tech detox for the 2012 National Day of 
Unplugging, sundown March 23-sundown March 24. 
Take the pledge on 
<http://www.causes.com/causes/648905-national-day-of-unplugging/actions>Causes.com 
and then easily share it with friends and family 
through Facebook, Twitter and e-mail.

We’ve created 10 core principles completely open 
for your unique interpretation. We welcome you to 
join us as we carve a weekly timeout into our 
lives and to continue the momentum of the 
National Day of Unplugging throughout the year.
Reboot also took the unplugging movement to the 
most plugged-in place on the planetthe South by 
Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, TX! At 
a technology-free panel, “Tech Detox: Can You 
Survive a Day Without Technology?” on March 11, 
SXSW participants heard industry leaders, 
entrepreneurs and tech titans share their secrets 
(and struggles) of unplugging, and how they’re 
given more power in their day-to-day lives by 
creating sacred “no connection” time regularly.

Then, we set the 
<http://recordsetter.com/>RecordSetter.com world 
record for the most people to shut off their cell 
phones at once with 147 people who are normally 
ultra- connected to their devices powering down 
simultaneously at SXSWi’s First-Ever Unplugged Party at The Lodge in Austin.
