Law - Criminal WEEK 8 COMMUNICATION MEDIA ASSIGNMENT

This week, you will be asked to unplug from technology in a manner that makes sense for you. You will describe this experience in this module's journal assignment.

Part 1: Describe the impact of technology on your work and family life. How has technology changed your work environment (or another environment that you frequent)? Has your workload, pace of work, or stress level increased due to technology? If so, explain how this has occurred. Within your family life, has work technology or technology from other obligations (civic, volunteer, religious, etc.) caused the lines to blur between work and home?

Part 2: Choose one of the following experiences:

1. Unplug for one evening at home (when possible). Enjoy activities that do not include technology.
2. Leave your phone at home (as possible or appropriate) during a short trip or during a planned activity or work meeting.
3. Unplug for a set amount of time (when possible).

Upon completion of your unplugged experience, describe your feelings of insecurity, separation anxiety, relief, or freedom that resulted from removing yourself from technology. Express any realizations or insights that you may have gained via this experience and the opportunity to unplug, if only for a short period of time.
