National Unplugged Day? Who's in?

 

I might be on to something.

In my Monday print column, I lamented how I came to be ‘unplugged’ by my home Internet provider, Verizon.

I had written several times about the effect of being ‘plugged-in’ 24 hours a day was having on so many of us.

Being suddenly ‘unplugged’ came as something of a jolt.

Apparently I’m not the only one who has been thinking about it, however.

I got a lot of response to that column. Here’s the outcome. I’m no longer a Verizon customer. I dumped them and went with Comcast.

But I discovered something else as well. A lot of people are considering weaning themselves off this technology we have come to depend on.

One reader actually tweeted that I start a National Unplugged Day. I think it has some merit.

So what do you say, folks? Retweet this blog item if you’re in favor of taking a National Unplugged Day.

All you have to lose is the Internet. But at least it will be your choice, and not forced on you by your provider.
