It is obvious that people would find life extremely difficult without computers, maybe even impossible. If they disappeared for just one day, would we be able to cope?
Be a part of one of the biggest global experiments ever to take place on the internet. The idea behind the experiment is to find out how many people can go without a computer for one whole day, and what will happen if we all participate!
Shutdown your computer on this day and find out! Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer?

I could certainly do it at home but in work theres no way i could do it.
It one of the best thing about going on holiday for me, i don't use a pc for at least to weeks, which is sheer bliss!

I know... but you get weirdly fast over it - and then you realise after 2 tv-free years: you didn't miss a thing!!! I now get really ticked off watching tv/listening to the radio, etc...when "they" don't get to the point!!! All that filling material without substance... Apart from work, I have no problem being "off-line" - of course I'd miss the miracle that is esato!!!

24 hours without, would be hard but i would definitely benefit, my girlfriend wouldn't moan half as much, my arse wouldn't get numb or my eyes sore, and i would probably be in bed early! lol 
think i'll give it ago!

Any other time I would say no can do, but on that day (March 24 2007), I reckon I can.

If I am away from my PC then I have my TYTN with me. Its less my PC that I would miss than Esato.

My life is so very sad come to think of it...
If I had no computer of my own, I would have literally nothing to do in my spare time... nothing.
When I'm not at college, I spend on average about 18 hours a day straight on my computer, sometimes even more. That is about 126 hours a week if I have the week off like this week.
Without electricity, I wouldn't know what to do at all. I even get anxious and what not when I go on holiday.
