Act of Resistance!

For my act of resistence I completely sacrificed using modern forms of communication, no cell phone, facebook, email, etc (on thanksgiving). I decided to resist againts these forms of communication because they really take out the human element of communication, typing away on the internet is so void of emotion, and I figured I'd rid myself of the whole practice the entire day to spend more quality communication time with my family. It was difficult giving up something I take for granted, the instant gratification of being able to talk to anyone at any moment, pin-pointing their exact location, the nearly invasive practice of communicating with anyone at the push of a button or the strike of an enter key. It's insane how non-personal communication has become now that it's easier to "communicate." Anyway, it was very difficult to pull off, I wanted to go check me email quite a bit that day, but the lesson I learned was valuable and I recommend performing your own act of resistance.
