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頁/共230頁ComprehensionWords and ExpressionsVocabulary BuildingText Study3 Reilly: I called Verizon and suspended service for my cell phone.

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.

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頁/共230頁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.
