Turn off all media.

If you turned off all media at your disposal i.e. mobile phones, TV, internet, ipod etc. Where would you be? Discuss.

Not on here for a start.

monkeyfudge · 20-02-2008 12:48AM

I'd probably be in bed asleep... at least that's how it usually goes down.

Doctor DooM · 20-02-2008 12:49AM

Sitting on my couch wondering what was happening on boards.

Silverfish · 20-02-2008 12:50AM

On a plane?

In a coffin.

Dave! · 20-02-2008 12:54AM

I'd probably be getting valuable beauty sleep instead of watching Ross Kemp in Afghanistan on YouTube.

Might actually be forced to talk to someone, in person :eek:

Kimbot · 20-02-2008 12:58AM

I'd more than likely be getting laid.........

There would be a lot less virginity in the world for a start.

yawnstretch · 20-02-2008 01:02AM

Out of a job

Capt'n Midnight · 20-02-2008 01:02AM

Do mean electrical devices or do you include print media ?

I'd catch up on a couple of books

Doctor DooM · 20-02-2008 01:04AM

or even suspension medium in which bacteria and stuff grow?

20-02-2008 01:07AM

In bed with the missus!

Turning my phone off would have its advantages and its disadvantages.

Disadvantage: I'd spend the whole time checking my phone only to be disappointed when i realised it was off.

Advantage: I wouldn't have to endure my mother's constant texts. In fact, without phones and internet, etc, I wouldn't have to deal with her constant questioning at all! But she would end up visiting me. (Even though it'd take a few hours.)

Can we ban cars too?

Oh, another disadvantage: I wouldn't be able to contact my best friend who is living in France.

I'll keep the phone and the internet, thanks, but you can take the iPod. I'll just use my phone.

In short, I'd be bored.

In bed having sex!

DJ_Spider · 20-02-2008 02:21AM

This was actually done in a PC mag I used to buy in the UK. It was done by one of the staff and they tried it for a week. Have a read here http://tinyurl.com/ypkoc9 Bit difficult to read, but interesting none the less!

Mossy Monk · 20-02-2008 02:27AM

I would be at the barn dance.

Jim · 20-02-2008 02:30AM

Down the pub.

sdanseo · 20-02-2008 03:09AM

Asleep, work, out socialising, out buying things, travelling...list is endless.

OP, im worried about your apparent dependence on tecvnology tbh :rolleyes:

Edit, an afterthought - is it possible OP meant where would you be in the non-literal sense? In which case screwed sounds good.

FunkZ · 20-02-2008 03:55AM

Most likely sleeping, or eating, or playing football against the wall out the back.

orestes · 20-02-2008 04:18AM

I was actually thinking of trying something like this for a while to remind myself what it was like without having all the technological stuff I have at my disposal these days. Turn off the phone, avoid the interweb and tv and things like that. I don't even need to use any of this stuff for work since I'm one of those just out of college and hasn't got a job yet kinda people.

Then again I was also thinking of blind-folding myself for a week straight a while ago to see what it feels like to be blind.

I really need a hobby.
