About 7 years ago, I spent about 20 days abroad. Didn't have a data plan so my phone stayed in my suitcase the entire trip and didn't have a computer.

By the end I felt that I engaged with the world a lot more with a feeling that my perception was sharpened.

It felt great but didn't last long on my return. Because my life involves computers.

Today the idea of spending almost a month away from a PC would mean I'd have to quit my job.

But if I had the opportunity again, I would love to unplug myself. Not sure if I'd have the willpower though.
