I can do that. Do that EASY. The trick is: Have...a...type...writer. And it dosn't say anything above movies and TV. I think it's preferable to play Computer than watch TV, cause at least you have to think with a computer.
So when is this again? the 24'th of march, eh. Sounds good

I'd rather eat broken glass than spend a day away from my computer, tbh

as rust sprung from iron eats itself away when arisen, even so his own deeds lead the transgressor to states of woe.

Hell, it's hard enough to survive without the internet:

Day 2: Today went pretty well, except that at about noon I suddenly realized I didn't know all the lyrics to the theme song to The Facts of Life. I spent a few seconds casting about for my laptop before I remembered my plan. I was forced to spend the afternoon humming "There's a time you gotta go to show the crow you know the pro the slow plateau the FACTS OF LIFE!" This did not endear me to service workers and passersby.

I don't really see the reasoning behind this. Well, I do, but I don't agree with it - it's essentially Luddite - "life was so much better before invention X because it was simpler. Let's do away with invention X!"
On the contrary, I feel like my quality of life has gone up with my use of the Internet, rather than down. Why should I decline to access the vast database of facts and opinions that is the Internet? Why should I restrict myself to communicating only with those people that I have the good fortune (or misfortune, as the case may be) to be physically located near? Why should I demand that my news be delivered to me on sheets of paper, rather than in the form of environmentally-friendly bits and bytes?

It would be nice to spend a day without comptuers, just so that we can do things that are fun and NOT electronic. Like play Risk 2210 with my freinds and get stabbed in the back by Scott...again.

I *could* do it, and have done it many times (mostly against my will) but I choose not to, because it would inconvenience me.

Hey look at that, you hate people in the real world and prefer to spend your time listening to the opinions of jobless nerds on the internet. Yes indeed your quality of life has risen.

Also, if this topic means that Daywalker needs to be shutdown, as in owned, then I vote yes.
