Everyone’s in the Media Fast


Hey everyone, so we’ve all been recruited into the media fast.  What’s that?  You’re happy being a wheel-running gerbil slave to your iPhone?  Well, I'll explain just how the media fast is going to go.  This weekend, for 24 hours, no media.  That means cellphones, Internet, and television or music.  The point isn’t to do it, it's simple to experience what it would be like.  So if you’re worried you won't make it the full 24 hours, just try to go as long as you can.  If you have to stop for work, that's just fine.  Afterwards, write a blog about the experience, the whole experience.  Meaning if you didn’t make it the full 24 hours or you cheated, just say so in the blog.  Make it as honest as possible.  And if you’re with Tara’s terminator-worshipping addicts and hate the media fast, then write that in your blog about that and tell me why.  Using all the information and different blogs, well make a video presenting it all.  I already know several communications professors interested in just how this turns out.  Truly, we owe it to our potentially overweight, cyber crazed children to show u still have power over the machines.
