Let your computers sleep? · posted by vaibhav bhawsar Feb 25, 23:46

You have probably heard about this but two guys are asking the world to abstain from using computers for one day on 24 March 2007. This is like some mega reboot the internet sort of thing. But after looking at what people are saying they will instead do- it frankly seems like a nice thing to do.

Comments people are leaving-
I don’t know what I will do, but I can live without technology for a day.

If you are man enough you will do it!

But then I ask myself why do I need a special day to do something like this? Why can’t I do it when I FEEL like doing it? The reason why such “We Feel Good” things put me off is that they eventually turn out to be a thing to do. Though I need to rediscover that life out in the real world is much more fun than it is online. Seriously. But I don’t need a day without computers to figure that out..I need a lifetime without them!
So far 14259 people have said they will not use their computer on 24 March 2007.
Though if the internet were to really sleep for a day it would be so much fun to see financial losses some of the BigBig companies might face.
