Assigned Text: Introduction to Media Fasting

Next week I am going to ask you to participate in a media fast for TV Turn-Off Week, as part of Ex 3-2: Media Fasting Reflection, due on May 3.

If you give up TV, but watch DVDs on your computer, are you really making any progress? If you turn off the TV, but turn up your iPod, are you really taking control of the technology that defines our lives?

Confession time:

I watch little TV, but spend a lot of time online.
