How long would you last 'disconnected'?

April 1, 2010, 1:39 p.m., Posted by Knight Foundation – 0 Comments

Could you last a week without touching a computer? How about longer? 'Disconnected' is a documentary by film students at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., in which three of the film students attempt life without a computer for a month.

The documentary, released in 2008, illustrates how connected our lives have become and how access to the Internet is no longer a luxury, but a requirement for college students.

Would you be willing to try this yourself? What would you miss most?
