This may sound stupid, but I wrote a post in my weblog last month about a plan in my life. The article called "No E-" Day, and I suggested in this post to avoid of using any electronic services and devices like computer, internet and mobile for one day.

I was talking to some friends days ago and almost all of them were interested to do that at least once a year.

I thought this idea can be shared through the net and maybe there are many people to have interest about this "No E-" day proposal.

I think nowadays everybody needs that as we are going to be addicted more and more to modern technology.

So, on "No E-" day, you should follow this ToDo list:

- Turn off your computer
- Don't use Internet
- Turn off your mobile
- Don't watch TV
- Don't play video-games
- Don't blog!

What do you think? Would you like to do that?

Are you serious?? No computer? No cell I’m not sure I could do that . the last time was with out electronics with me was at least 10 years ago. Have tried quitting smoking and was a little bit more successful. Day by day. But no electronics for 24 hours I don’t think I could do it I’m addicted.

Excellent idea! I now try to have a few days a month where I don't go online/use a computer. Thinking of doing it one day a week.

With work and life based around "E" things I couldn't see it happening in the near future - not by a long shot. One day.....

its very interesting , I do it 2-3 days in a year when I go to nature.this is a practice of meditation ....i like it and think its necessary for everyone to enjoy and find him/herself without any e- communication at least for a short while time to time...
