Do you know how to have fun without electronics?  Do you think you can survive a week without it?  I know I can!  I'm asking you to join me.  I think it will be fun to hear how everyone's week of entertainment without electronics went.  I think many American kids (and adults for that matter) are electronically dependent (they're bored without electronics).  Let's be different! 

Here are the rules:

You may use electronics (i.e. the computer) for things not relating to entertainment.  For example, you may use the computer for work and school but not just to have fun.

Here are some examples of things you cannot do: You cannot surf the internet, play computer games, play video games, read other people's blogs, chat on the telephone, listen to music on a boombox, radio, or ipod (create your own music!), blog (unless it's for work or school), watch TV, watch DVDs/videos, etc.

Just remember, if it has anything to do with the TV, computer, or any other electronic thing, you can't use it for entertainment (only work or school!).

When the week is over, please post about how it went.  Please tell us what you did instead of electronics.  Here are some questions (you don't have to answer them...these are just some examples of things you can talk about):  Did you get more constructive/meaningful things done with your time?  Were you able to have fun without electronics?  Was it easy or hard?  Now that it's over, do you think you will spend the same amount of time using electronics for fun or less (or hopefully not, more)?  Were you bored or not?  Would you do it again? 

The week of Entertainment without Electronics will start on March 17th (of course, feel free to do this any week).  Whether you start doing it on March 17th or later on, please comment and sign Mr. Linky so we all know you're doing it.  Thank you!
