Just came across this story this morning. A mother 'disconnects' her kids (and herself) from digital media for six months. I like this line from the story - The result of what she grandly calls "The Experiment" was more OMG than LOL — and nothing less than an immersion in RL (real life).
Even better - she has written a book about it (The Winter of our Disconnect). I should have my College Comp II classes reading that. But we just ordered copies of Ken Robinson's The Element. However, The Winter of our Disconnect would go well with our cell phone hiatus option that we cover in that class. Maybe we'll order copies next year.
