"Yon pwofesè sèvi ak liv la nan konjonksyon avèk yon eksperyans li rele yon 'e-medya vit.' Pou ven-kat èdtan, chak elèv dwe evite medya elektwonik. Lè li anonse plasman an, li te di m ', 90 pousan nan osman elèv la, panse li pa gen okenn kontra gwo. Men, lè yo reyalize tout bagay yo dwe bay pou yon jou antye - telefòn selilè, òdinatè, entènèt, televizyon, radyo machin, elatriye - "yo kòmanse jemi ak plenn." [Men] yo ka toujou li liv. Li rekonèt li pral yon jou difisil, menm si pou apeprè uit nan ven-kat èdtan yo pral dòmi. Li di si yo kraze vit la-si yo reponn telefòn lan, di, oswa senpleman gen yo tcheke imèl-yo dwe kòmanse nan grate. "Papye yo mwen jwenn tounen yo etonan," di pwofesè a.

“One professor uses the book in conjunction with an experiment she calls an ‘e-media fast.’ For twenty-four hours, each student must refrain from electronic media. When she announces the assignment, she told me, 90 percent of the student shrug, thinking it’s no big deal. But when they realize all the things they must give up for a whole day — cell phone, computer, Internet, TV, car radio, etc. — “they start to moan and groan.” [but] they can still read books. She acknowledges it will be a tough day, though for roughly eight of the twenty-four hours they’ll be asleep. She says if they break the fast—if they answer the phone, say, or simply have to check email—they must begin from scratch. “The papers I get back are amazing,” says the professor.
