Could you go without all your gadgetry, toys, and electronics for 1 month?

[juills]

Yep, give me a backpack, a sleeping bag, and some food and I'm good to go!

 

[K1052]

Yes, coming up on one month now infact (oustide of my work PC). Still not happy about it.

 

[Toastedlightly]

YES!

 

[So]

Yes, but what possible reason would I have for wanting to? Why would I want to go on a trip without GPS and mapping software? Some deluded quest for simplicity?

 

[MX2]

I didnt say anything about going camping or going on a trip I mean in your regular day to day lifestyle, could you go without?

Again, could yeah. Would? No, since there's no good reason.

At the end of the month I'd just be getting used to not having a calculator again.

Would I at least get a turntable and access to a decent collection of vinyl?

Then I think I'd be alright

Also, remember 'technology' goes all the way back to fire. Placing an arbitrary line at technology less than thirty years old is silly, I suggest a challenge to use NO technology whatsoever. No fire, no clothes, no buildings, no spears or clubs, no rock tools, no medicine, no axes, and on and on.

Remember, everything you do is a technology, even communicating verbally and writing.

'So' dont over-analyze so much, it isnt your style....oh wait

 

[Kelvrick]

I'm going to limit the gadgetry to things like cell phones, computers, pda's, little things like that. I could do that as often when I'm bored, I just go riding on my bike. That, and the GF will be seeing a lot more of me during that month.

Seriously talking though, if the world went to chaos, I'd probably grab my sig and could survive well enough provided I don't get killed by someone else.

FTW

 

[jfall]

considering that I use my computer to make money, probably not

 

[eplebnista]

Yes

 

[Rubycon]

Not likely - most everything is required 24/7. Tools not toys.

 

[TravisT]

I think I could. As much as I love spending time on the computer playing PC games when I get home from work... I really do enjoy getting outside and going fishing or doing some bird hunting. The outdoors is fun to me as well, so I don't think it would be a huge issue except for maybe a shower... but i'm not sure that would count as "technologically advanced".

The subject doesn't say "technology," it says "gadgetry, toys, and electronics"

 

[sswingle]

I could, but it would suck.

 

[buzzsaw13]

No TV, No Beer make Homer something something.

 

[ISAslot]

:Q how dare such a thing even be spoken of, i'm offended!

 

[ViviTheMage]

yeah, i haven't had my cell phone for about 2 months now.

 

[jimbob200521]

Does this include my car? If not, then it would at least be doable, but not pretty.
