graffiti
Tried my hand at anti advertising. I put it on a computer. It said unplug. I wanted those people who saw it to think I don’t need all of this technology, I’m still going to live if I don’t have my computer, my cell, or my ipod. When I put up the sign I felt the adrenaline pumping. Even though I knew I wasn’t hurting anything I felt like a secret agent planting secret devices. I was watching my back looking for staff, watching for kids starring, I stuck around for a little and saw one person look at my message. I think they got the message but they just kept going on with their lives. However one thing I observed was that once I put it up it was like that computer was off limits. No one went near it or tried to use it. So I decided to try what I want others to do. I tried to do this for a half of a day. I turned off my phone, didn’t use my computer. This was a weird feeling. I felt alone and vulnerable. I had gone to the mall by myself to buy some gifts. When I got there I pulled out my phone but it was off. I had lost my security blanket. I always checked m technology when I felt alone or needed to do something to kill time. It was a nervous habit like cracking your knuckles or biting your nails. As the day went on I felt weird still. When I looked at my phone no one had messaged me nothing bad happened. It was ok.
