Reilly, a 24-year-old student at a Chicago school, did just that. I spoke with Reilly over the phone this weekend about his 90-day project, what he learned from living without electronic conveniences and how it changed his life.2 You say you spent three months completely cut-off from the virtual world. What steps did you take to do that?90 Days Without a Cell Phone or EmailComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study第27页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study3 Reilly: I called Verizon and suspended service for my cell phone. I put up an out-of-office on both of my email accounts, like, “Im sorry for the inconvenience, but I wont receive this until the end of the year.”4 Before what you called “The Amish Project,” how much time would you typically spend on texting and calling every day?第28页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study5 Reilly: It was pretty bad. I was sending more than 1,500 texts a month.

Describe what you noticed and your feelings right at that moment.第29页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study7 Reilly: I live with three guys and we had two of our best friends visiting from New York City. We only see these guys once a year, maybe every six months. Every single person had either a laptop or a cell phone. Somebodys playing Words with Friends, somebodys playing Angry Birds. Nobodys really doing anything, just sitting quiet. Its like this was what we were all looking forward to and were just sitting here numbing our minds. Thats the thing that drives me crazy. People go out to dinner with a crowd and everyones on their phone. I mean, what else are you looking for?第30页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study8 You said that you had much more free time when you stayed off social media sites. Did this extra time translate into higher productivity or better grades at school?第31页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study9 Reilly: Yeah, a hundred times over. Like I said, there wasnt really much to do at the house, so I stayed at school most nights until 10 when everyone else leaves around 6, without a doubt. I think whats so hard for people and so distracting for people is that where they work, there are social media distractions on the same machine that they are supposed to be using to do their work. Im sure every office in the country suffers from these things.第32页/共230页ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study10 In the end, having finished this whole thing, is your life different now or did you fall right back into old habits?11 Reilly: Its definitely different, but I catch myself doing exactly what I hated.
