Students at Portland's Lincoln High School unplug, experience life without technology | OregonLive.com

Students at Portland's Lincoln High School unplug, experience life without technology | OregonLive.com:

"For four days this week, Elise Cramer didn't pick up her cell phone. The 17-year-old Lincoln High School senior didn't check Facebook or turn on the television, either.

She and 53 other Lincoln students participated in a technology fast for the school week, which was shortened by a day for teacher in-service time.

Cramer coped better than one might expect for someone her age.

'It's liberating kind of,' she said. 'You're not connected, and you get to discover new things.'"
