A day without technology

I really expected it to be easy to not have technology for only one day.. i was so wrong. When I woke up in the morning it felt so weird not turning on radio since that's what I do everyday. I lasted through out the school except in photography class because we use computers everyday, but other then that i lasted.. until I got home. The t.v. was right there and I couldn't help myself. I find it sad that I rely on technology so much, I don't see how they did it back in the day..

Podcast of Thoreau

1. The host views Thoreau as if his books are part of the founding scripture of the nation. He challanges citizens to the question of what kind of society we want to live in. A person who thinks by him self.

2. Kathryn Todd views Thoreau as writings are important and move towards American History. Strong influence over America. She also thinks there are ways in which he is blind, and unfeeling. His worse sin is that he cares nothing about community. She wonders why he is giving me advice when no one even gave him advice. Can't analyze him calmly. She sees him as selfish.

3. The advantages of living your life like Thoreau are being considered a strong person who does not need to rely on others.

4. Some disadvantages are there would be no way we can understand and help each other, no self-reliance. People older them him have never given him good advice. He's anti-community. People start not liking you because some view hi as so in to himself.
