Computer Shutdown Day: March 24, 2007.

Are you addicted to your computer? Can you live without your it for just one day?

The idea behind the Shutdown Day, a "global experiment" by Denis Bystrov and Michael Taylor, is to see if you can shut down your computer and last without it for 24 hours. So far, over 12,000 people had pledged to go without the ‘puter for one whole day on Saturday, March 24, 2007.
