Could You Go Unplugged?

"Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy."

So says Mahatma Gandhi.

But then again, he never had to give up his cell phone.

In a fascinating little experiment, The New York Times threw down the gauntlet to its readers and challenged them to give up their internet and phone connections. The results are interesting, if not scary - it seems that for some, being connected is as addictive as any drug out there.

Others, however, found solace in the silence, even remarking how they were "less stressed, much calmer, and less distracted."

It's interesting to hear some of the stories of those who took a breather from being connected and either reconnected with the rest of the world or were frustrated to tears.
