Teens without Technology

I receive sporadic updates from a site I joined while in grad school. Much of the content on the site is designed and written by teens.

A recent challenge undertaken by many of these kids is detailed in this article. The challenge required that the kids give up some form of technology...either the internet, an ipod, TV...the possibilities varied.

Reading the reactions from the kids was as interesting as they were varied. Some kids 're-embraced' reading and silence while others nearly had to enter detox to cure their technological withdrawals.
