Disconnected

This was probably one of the most difficult assignments I've ever had to do for any class.  The Issues began to pop up pretty much as soon as i disconnected on Friday.  My roommates and i were throwing a party and i knew without Facebook it would be difficult to contact everyone i needed to.  I ended up calling a couple of my closer friends and, sadly, using my roommate as a proxy to contact the rest.  Something odd i noticed was that the party itself felt significantly different not being able to use my phone.  I had nowhere to bury my head or escape, i had to be talking to people constantly which, i'm not gonna lie, was difficult.  On Saturday i was at the library for the majority of the day.  I tried to stay away from Facebook, Imgur, and many of the other websites i visit frequently as best as i could but the weird thing was that sometimes i would just open up these websites subconsciously without fully realizing what i was doing.  I ended up giving up later that evening when i needed to text some of my friends about FreakFest arrangements.  Although i gave up early i did learn a lot about how much i use and depended on this digital technology.  It's something that I've become addicted to, i need it to properly function and get through my day.  I don't necessarily think this addiction is a bad thing though, i use the these digital technologies to more effectively socialize, learn, entertain myself, and even get work.  One of the biggest things i realized and one of the major issues i need to fix is how much time i waste online.  I think if I can limit the time i spend checking my phone throughout the day i'll be surprised how much extra time i have.
