“Disconnected”
The
subject of the movie is three students going 3-5 weeks without using a
computer. They set themselves back and use other resources for information such
as the library; instead of using a computer for papers they use typewriters. It
shows you that we as people have become too comfortable and having a computer
is not so important.
My
overall impression… impressed. It had a positive effect on me, making me
realize that we have it easy with all of this technology. Let’s say that
something were to happen where there were no more computers, would people know
how to get the information they need without Google searching? These three
students, and friends, even talk to other students trying to get them involved
in what they are doing. There is most definitely a lesson to be learned here
with this story. Even though these students struggled, they made it all happen
without computers. Instead of e-mails and texts they sent letters, I feel that
makes things more personal as well.
I
think if I were to participate in such an experiment that it would be hard for
me, but doable. I would have some success, I barely use technology now. Still,
staying in touch with family and friends would be stressful having to send
letters. Other than finding the resources needed, most of our material is in
the books we just have to look for it. I feel Chel captured my reaction to the
experiment, I would break occasionally only because of the stress. Some things
are just way easier and less time consuming with a computer.
