ORIGINAL:My mom threw down the challenge. She said she was tired of never seeing me without some electronic device permanently attached to my head or hand.
“I believe you could not go for an entire week without using electronic devices,” she said.
“I think it would be very easy. OK, I will show you that I can do it,” I answer, not thinking about what that would mean.
Unfortunately, my Mom made a detailed list of what it would mean. No phones, no music players of any kind, no games, no TV, and no laptop. I could use the desktop for homework, but no Internet. That was a lot to commit to, but I had already stuck my neck out. Anyway, my reputation depends on it.
