Sure, I could do it

...well, within reason I could. I probably wouldn't be too happy trying to go with dark-age-style gadgetlessness but today, if I was to shut off my computer, cell phone. ipod, etc, I think I'd be fine. Much of what I do on the computer can be easily transfered to analog mediums (writing and drawing). The only problem I'd have is that my only contact right now with my family and friends is through my cell phone (I have no land line). I'd be fine using a pay phone though; I only have to use my phone when I call my parents to get them to come pick me up from the train station when I go home for the weekend. I think I'd miss my ipod the most... I love having music everywhere I go

It's probably significantly harder to do if you have a crackberry. I had one at an old job, and when I left, I went crazy for a little while not having constant access to email and Google Maps.
