You get 30 minutes of computer time a day for email/web surfing. You are given a 90s style cell phone that can only make and receive calls and play that brick breaking game in black and white.

I think I could try really hard and make it at least 3 days.

Forever. All of us could. It would be difficult initially, but then we would all adjust.

You deserve to never be separated from your phone.

Given that I have a love hate relationship with cell phones I'd like to believe that in time it wouldn't be a problem. But as I sit here looking at a half empty bottle of Coca-Cola that I've been talking about quitting over a decade, I know that's not likely to be the case.

If I were you, I'd buy a new bottle -- those things go flat in a couple of days; I can't imagine what it tastes like after it has been open for 10+ years.

Nas is right, we'd adjust, and we'd tell our grandchildren tales about the heady days of Candy Crush.

i can't get over how many people stare at their phones while driving. it's made traffic light changes a lot more aggravating. the 3-4 second phone delay.

I'm so old that I've never played the game.

I doubt that I've even played video games more than a half dozen times in the last 20-25 years. :eye:

Sometimes I wonder what would be better for me, drinking only water or not having a cell phone at all.

it would be amazing for people like me who refuse to online date and might actually run into a single 30 something female at a god damn bar.

Breaking news. Everybody dies. And I'd rather die tomorrow than drink only water. Honest to God, if SCIENCE! told people wearing a chastity belt would get them an extra 1000 breaths, people would line up to do it.

Everything dies baby that's a fact
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back



If it meant I could get paper tickets for concerts and baseball games, I'd be down. As long as I had access to a computer, I would give up the phone and adjust fairly easily with the exception of needing to be able to receive a call/text when my kid is in school.

It is crazy. Go for a 10 minute drive "around town", and take a look at how many cars you pass where it's 100% obvious people are looking at phones. Not even talking about people trying to be sneaky, or the quick glance at a red light. I mean the people driving down the street with their phone pinned against the steering wheel or in a holder on the dashboard.

They live inside those things. The rest of the world is just an inconvenient annoyance.
