So, being tech-free for one whole day!! It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be :) I was with Grace all day, and we listened to recoords and went for a really long walk and saw horses and then sat on the swingset and then came in and drank hot chocolate and ate... And then we went to "Singin' In the Rain" at Pothole Pictures, which was legal because it was projected with on of those projectors from the thirties with the little flame inside... That was fun...
However, when we got home, we started playing with the remote control bumper cars my mom got for Christmas, and then after about 15 minutes we went... Waaaait a minute. They didn't have these in the fifties :( So we had to stop playing with them and go to sleep. Then, the next morning, we woke up around 9:30 and we only had to go until twelve, so we didn't do that much. But we messed up and used my graphing calculator for our chem homework, so we just drew and read and stuff until noon and then we rejoiced while drinking more hot chocolate and watching "The Phantom Of the Opera"...
So all in all, it was a pretty good time. We listened to the Beatles, and Blondie, and other stuff that I don't remember. And we talked so much more than we usually do, and we sent a lot of time outside and just telling funny stories and drawing and making kaleidacycles form the M.C. Escher book... I think it wasn't as much of a challenge as it could have been, if we had done just one level higher, it would have been much more... enlightening. I think the level we were at served only a vague purpose, and didn't actually make us appreciate our technology, or appreciate life without it.... which, generally, was the point of the exercise. :P
