No technology for 24 hours

We had an assignment in class to go without communication technology for 24 hours. For many people this is easy, for me it's impossible. I would literally have to quit my job and drop out of school to accomplish this task...

This girl in my class on the other hand... She made a point of raising her hand and telling the teacher that she accomplished this assignment by simply waiting for a time period when she couldn't use her cellphone or the internet (while she was at work) and did the assignment at that time.

How the fuck is that constructive? Not only was that not in the spirit of the assignment, it was completely uninteresting to the rest of the class. To add to this obnoxious story of "I didn't use the technology when I couldn't use it...." she repeated the story 3 times. This is mostly the professor's fault for saying he didn't understand several times...

And now I'm going to try to pay attention again...

What? I'm serious... kinda.
