Can you survive for 24 hours without your computer ?
It is obvious that in our modern life it is exceedingly hard to get by without the use of a computer. Some may even call it impossible. If they all disappeared off the face of the earth one day, would we be able to cope with it?

Be a part of one of the largest global experiments that's ever taken place on the Internet! The idea of "Shutdown Day" consists of finding out if we can get by without using a computer for a whole day as well as bring attention to the serious issue of computer addiction, which is becoming more and more problematic in our current days.

SHUT DOWN your computer on October 3, 2010 and join us!

The increased use of modern computer technology is adversely affecting our lives as well as those of our children. More and more young people are falling victim to computer addiction -- a rapidly growing problem that leads to devastating consequences on their health and social lives.

Shutdown Day, a non-profit organization registered in the province of Québec, Canada, is committed to raising awareness about the impact that the excessive use of modern computer technology has on our social relationships as well as the environment.

Shutdown Day is a global Internet experiment whose purpose is to get people thinking about how their lives have changed with the rising use of computers, game consoles, cell phones, and other popular gadgets, and whether or not any good things were lost in the process.

The idea of Shutdown Day is simple -- just shut down your computer for one whole day and involve yourself in some other activities: outdoors, nature, sports, fun stuff with friends and family -- Anything that reminds you that there's still a real world outside your monitor screen.
