I have an amateur radio license. Which used to be a bigger deal (at least VHF, UHF. and microwave) before the advent of cell phones.

Interesting experiment. Some expected and unexpected benefits/drawbacks. "My week without technology was very different and challenging. However, I don't regret it; I learned a lot. I learned how to use a phone book, how to use a map and how to find the weather in a newspaper. I learned that board games can still be fun and there are different crafts to help pass the time.
Most importantly, I learned that if I am not careful, technology can run my life. As long as there is a balance, technology can be a great thing; it is helpful, fun and enjoyable as long as it is used in the right measure."
