Digital Sabbatical Day 1: Due Friday, February 01, 2019 COLLAPSE Day 1 : Under this thread you will write about your first day of eliminating the use of your mobile device or computer for any communication or accessing information. Sample of items you are unable to use during your selected sabbatical time are included below (but also include items similar to those listed): Music Streaming Services Social Media Apps : if it has ever been mentioned as a social media app–or is an app on your phone, you need to CUT IT! Gaming Any type of online news media– including, but not limited to, local news apps or websites, buzzfeed, huffington post, worldstar Hip Hop–TMZ. We will become “analog people” in a “digital world” for 12 hours. It will hurt but not too much. You will do the following: 1. Pick a day where you will disconnect for 12 hours from digital communication. Many select from the time they get off until the time they go back to work. I have sometimes chosen 6 pm – 6 am 2. You will write a single space 250 word post, do not create it as an attachment–write it in the body of the post, and discuss the following: The day, the date, and the time block you selected (this information is NOT included in your 250 minimum word count) Describe in detail how you felt going without communication (stress, anxiety, peace, relief, etc.) Describe in detail how you felt going without digital information (empowered, helpless, “out of the loop”)
