People all over the world took the unplug challenge and put down their cell phones, signed out of email, stopped their Facebook and Twitter updates.

National Day of Unplugging

National Day of Unplugging 2011 was observed for 24 hours, starting at sundown Friday March 4, 2011, individuals, families and community organizations across the nation reclaimed time, slowed down their lives and reconnected with friends, family, the community and themselves.

I liked the concept to unplug technology to really connect, but was too late to participate the idea behind avoiding technology to get connected to your family memebers and loved ones.
