Well, I successfully avoided my computer during “Shut Down Day”, but I must confess that it was somewhat of a lucky accident. I had remember the day or so before, but forgot that morning. Thankfully it ended up being a ‘date day’ with my wife (our first overnight without our 3 1/2 year old!) and so computers were pretty much out of the question (she is the closest thing to a neo-luddite you might find these days.) I checked back with the site and found people responses to “what did you do on shutdown day?” were pretty lame and childish (6300 responses as of this entry.)

I think the idea has a lot of potential, and I really do think we are becoming dangerously dependent on our machines. Hopefully this kind of thing will be taken more seriously in the future. Perhaps more people will start to read and heed writings like previously mentioned at NetFuture
