If I gave up digital life for 24 hours, I would miss tv the most because I watch tv a lot.
If I gave up digital life for 24 hours,I would miss the internet and phones the least because I dont use them much.
I think I could go 5 days without technology.
We are better off with technology because there are so many things technology has done.
1. If I gave up "didgital life" for 24 hours I would definetely miss my iPOD the most.
2. Because I use it the most and I love listening to music.
3. I could probably "survive" about 2 hours max.
4. I think we are better off without technoledgy for entertainment, but not in advances in medical technology.
5. I think this because every year americans get fatter and with less entertainment tech, and more medical tech americans wouldn't be so fat.
1. movie theaters
2. typeing
3. whole life
4. its ok as long as you dont dedicate ur life to it
If i gave up the "digital life" I would probably miss my computer the most because I am on it a TON. I would probably miss my tv the least because I dont watch Tv much anymore accept for Grey's Anatomy and Law and Order. I think I could survive maybe around like 3-5 days without going my "digital life." I think that we are better off with technology. Yes, many people get obsessed and overwhelmed with this, but technology helps us with medical issues, stuff with the law and much more.
1. The least thing i would miss would probably checking edline evryday for mays grades.
2. The biggest thing i would miss is myspace and youtube, i love it so much!
3. Maybe a week i could go without technology in the summer, not the school year.
4. Sometimes it would be nice to not have technology to live nice basic lives. But besides that, YES WE NEED IT!!!

1. I would miss my phone. I text non-stop and so i would go crazy without it. It is a way to talk with my friends and i have games on it so i can play when i get bored.
2. Wow this is hard. I probably wouldn't miss like our gaming systems that much, because i don't play everyday.
3.I would probably only be able to go one day, if that. It depends on the circumstances. I could definetly live with out electronics i just wouldn't like it.
4. Technology helps spread information, entertain and so much more so i think we are better off with it!
If I gave up digital life for 24 hours, I would probably miss my cell phone the most, because I go on the internet and text.
If I gave up digital life for 24 hours, I would probably miss TV the least, because I don't watch hardly any.
I think I could survive a couple of days without technology, but it would be hard since a lot stuff is done via computer.
I think that we are better off with some technology, but not all. Cell phones are really convenient.
Using the internet is helpful because there is so much information, but there is also a lot of scary and bad stuff out there, which is one not so good use of technology. People abuse the technology we have.
1) i would probobly miss the tv because i do that alot more than ipod or computer.
2) i would miss my ipod the least because i only really listen to that on the bus and on long car trips which i nevere take.
3)i hink i could survive about three days without technology because my house is filles with technological stuff so i'm not used to being technology deprived.
4) i think that we are better off with technology because it can keep out simple human error and helps continue with our daily lives. because now, if you have a bad heart, we can just put in a new one or give you a mechanical heart, i don't think you could do that 100yrs ago.
1. If I gave up my digital life for 24 hours, I think I would miss my computer the most becasue I use it a lot.
2. I don't think that I would miss tv because I really dont watch that much anyway. Plus I can get every show that I watch online!
3. I could probably 'survive' forever, i would just get annoyed, sad and bored.
4. I think that we're better off with technology. We would have no way of communicating with anybody else besides where we could walk to. I guess this could be dangerous like if another country was going to bomb us, or it would just be sad if we couldn't talk to a relative or friend who lived far away.
1. i would miss my cell phone
becasue i use it soooo much to comunicate with all my friends
2. i would miss tv because i don't watch it as much
3. i think that i could last maybe 5 days or less
4. i think that we are better off with technolagy because we can communicate much faster that way
If i had to give up digital life I would miss T.V the most because I like to watch T.V alot.
If I had to give up digital life I would miss computer the least because I don't like to use the computer alot.
I could survive a week with out
technology.
we would be better off with technology because it makes life easier.
1. If I could live without digital things for 24 hours, I would miss tv the most because the tv is the way to access news with just the click of a button.
2. The thing that I would miss the least would be a computer becuase it's a way to access info, but I would just use the tv and I barely use the computer That I have.
3. I think that you just have to find some other way to do all the stuff you can do now. Just live like people 200 years ago.
4. I think that we are better off with technology becuase we can do so much more with computers and cell phones than we ever could. Like now you can just call someone in the car instead of going to yourb house.
1. I would miss the computer and iTunes the most.
2. I would probably not miss TV because I don't watch TV a lot.
3. I think I could last a couple of days, maybe a week at the most.
4. I think we are better off with technology because it helps us do a lot of things much easier and faster.
1. If I gave up technology for 24 hours the thing I would miss the most is T.V. because I like T.V
2. I would miss my cell phone the least because over all I don't use it that much.
3. I think I could survive for a very long time without technology becasue when I set my mind to things I usually complete them.
4. I think we are better with technology because when we are warm and we have something to relax us, we are nicer and we can participate more.

I would probably miss TV the least, because I don't really watch TV.
I would probably be able to "survive" without using any technology for about 4-5 days.
In a way I think that we shouldn't have technology, because it kind of makes people lazy, but I do think that we are better off with technology. It is faster and so many people use it that if we didn't have it, people wouldn't really know what to do. We pretty much get all of our information from the internet and technology.
1. I would miss the Computor, iPods, Cell phones, and DDR!!
2. I would miss TV the least, because I dont really watch it anymore...

3. I think I would be able to last a long time without a computer or TV, but it would be really hard without a cell phone.
4. I think we're better off with technology because we use it a lot in our everyday lives. It makes things easier to communicate and it's also something that's really entertaining.

3. I would probably read a book go see a show at EPAC there are allot of things I could do.
4. I think that technology really helps us out with news and communicating and I can use video conferencing to see and talk to my dad while he is out of town. Overall I think that technology is great is you don't over use it.

2) I would miss TV the least because I hardly have time to watch TV anyway
3) I don't think that I would be able to survive very long, because I use my computer alot for homework

I would miss the computer the most because I do a lot of homework and email and stuff on it.

I couldn't last long without any technology without not doing some of my homework.
I think that if we didn't have technology, there would be a lot more reading, normal conversations, and other good things like that, but technology is very convenient, and makes a lot of things much easier to do. So I think we are better off with technology.
1. If I gave up digital life I would probably miss my computer. My computer is basically the way I can talk to my fiends without actually having to dial a phone.

I think that I could survive for three days without technology because anything longer than that I couldn't handle.
I believe that we are better off with technology because it has simplified so many things such as research, and we are able to communicate much faster and farther via the internet, cell phone, television, etc. Everything in moderation is all right with me.
If I gave up "digital life" for 24 hours, I would miss my laptop the most, since I love it and I'm on it alot doing various "digital" things.
If I gave up "digital life" for 24 hours, what I would miss the least is probably the t.v., since I think we should always be doing better and more productive things than sitting and watching television.
I could probably last a few days without technology, unless I had something to do.
I think that we're better off without technology because you can always go over TO your friends house and talk to them and have a much better time than texting or i.m.ing. Also, GO OUTSIDE! We should enjoy the good outdoors before all of our technology destroys it!

I could probably survive a week without technology. Not much more than that.
I think we are better off with technology because the internet is expanding, and a lot of teachers are now assigning homework online. Without technology, I think we would fail academicly and socialy.

I would probably survive 1 hour!

We are so better off with technology

3.I could go a life time excluding school months because they intertwine to much.
4.I think it's a win loss thing because it helps a lot of poeple and it destactes a lot of poeple.
1. I would miss the computer the most because its really fun and I go on it almost everyday. I dont know what I would miss the least because its hard to think about that.
2. I could survive my whole life without technology. People without it can, so I think I can too.
3. I dont know. It really depends on opinions because some people use technology alot and some dont use technology alot. It really depends on opinions.

2.i would miss my car the least because i can't drive
3.whole life
4.with because it makes everything a lot easier.
If i gave up digital life for 24 hours I would miss tv the most. I would probably miss the coputer the most because I don't use it that much.I think that i could "survive" a lifetime without technology. I still think that we are better off with tech. because then the entire world is able to communicate.
1. i would miss iTunes and Pandora the most, because then i wouldn't be able to choose the songs i listen to.
2. i wouldn't really miss checking edline and other school related sites, or my brother's game's sound effects.
3. maybe like 5-6 days.
4. well, it's become really important in our everyday lives so we're better off WITH it. it'd just be better if we didnt spend WAY TOO MUCH time on technology.
I would miss the TV the most because it is the perfect thing to do when you are eating.
I wouldn't really miss my ipod that much because I've lost it before and survived.
I could probably survive like three days.
I think we are better off with technology because it makes everything go faster and it refreshes information A LOT.
1. ipod, movies
2. lrt homework
3. i don't know but for a while
4. we are better off with technology because it enhances our lives so much.
1. I would miss TV the most.
2. I would miss phones because I don't use those very much.
3. I could go two weeks without technology.
4. I think we are better off with it because we lern things, entertain ourselves and communicate with technology.
1/2. I wouldn't miss anything 24 hours isn't that long.
3. I think I could survive as long as I wanted to without technology as long as we got rid of all computer related assignments.
I think technology is good.
1. The thing I'd miss the most would definetly be AIM or TV. These are things I do while I'm doing other things. Sadly they take up quite a bit of my time.
2. The thing I'd miss the least would be my ipod, I listen to it a lot but I have other sources of music like a cd player, the car. haha.
3. I think I could survive a long time with out technology. The question is how long would I be willing to go with out technology. Probably 2 weeks, I've done it before on vacation. It's a good feeling.
4. I think we're better off with technology. But I also think we'd be better off if we didn't use technology as much as we do right now. Technology has grown to be what seems to consume our whole lives. That's not good.
My sister goes to Carleton, I wonder if she knows these people.
If i gave up digital life for 24 hours I would miss my computer because i use it alot
If i gaveup digital life for 24 housi would miss the T.V. the leastbecause i don't watch that much T.V.
I think i could go forever
With because it makes life alot easier.
1)if i gave up digital life i would miss my ps2 because i love playing midnight club 3 dub edition remix.2)the computer i would miss the least because i don't really use cumputers that much.3)i could as long as i want to if i want to get away from technology;like one time i when to this place in eagle bluff in richfield on a field trip and we had no technology for four days but it was fun.4)we are good with technology because it help us out even though it is complicated.
If I gave up technology for 24 hours I would:
1. Miss my cell phone A LOT because I'm constenlty intouch in my friends.
2. Not miss the TV. I never really get to watch TV any way because I'm too busy to watch any. So it doesn't really matter.
3. At my Cabin we have no electircity so therefor, no techonoly. I'm used to going days with out TV, IM, computer use, ect. So I have "Survived" about a week and a half befor but I think I can survive about 2 weeks.
4. I think it would be pertty hard to not use anysort of technology for a lot of people, but expecially students. Like right now I need a computer to do my LRT homework. For others it could be easy though. So I think it depends on the person, and I also don't think it really matters if or if we didn't have technology.
I would probably miss either TV or my ipod because I love music... Maybe the computer, but not if I had homework to do on it cause I'd have an excuse. Without technology I doubt I'd "survive" very long, since you need it for things like air conditioning, the fridge so on. Sometimes technology can be bad though, if say you write a comment and for some reason it doesn't work and you have to post it again, like on my last one.
1. If i gave up the digital life, i would problaby miss AIM the most. i always like to stay posted with my friends.
2.I would problaby miss television the most...theres just nothing really special to me thas ever on tv.
3.I could problably last a week without technology, if i have other things to do in my spare time.
4. Yes. we can communicate a lot easier with technology than lest say letters. it can take sevral days just to go a state away. with technoloby, you can get your message sent in the blink of an eye.
