Liking the idea, reminds me of Adbuster's Mental Detox Week*, and have been thinking about generally taking more of a "break" from tech. Questions... - Have you tried it again? Does the "atmosphere" change as you get used to it? - Do you find it has "momentum", like you don't use technology so much during the following day, or the following week? - Most importantly, are you allowed to use cameras? Electronic cameras are out, I'd guess, but what about good old-fashioned film ones with manual shutters? What about old TLRs without batteries? Or is photography generally against the "ethos"? See, too many questions already. I should really stop that. Will be interested to see how you get on :) * http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/mental_detox_week Very interesting talk last weekend, thanks guys.

Questions…

- Have you tried it again? Does the “atmosphere” change as you get used to it?
- Do you find it has “momentum”, like you don’t use technology so much during the following day, or the following week?
- Most importantly, are you allowed to use cameras? Electronic cameras are out, I’d guess, but what about good old-fashioned film ones with manual shutters? What about old TLRs without batteries? Or is photography generally against the “ethos”?
