We are now in the year 2018, where contemporary electronic media is everywhere. Everyone uses contemporary electronics in their everyday lives since it has become a norm to our society.

For 24 hours I will be able to experience this world without using any contemporary electronics.

I definitely wouldn’t do this again because almost everything revolves around contemporary electronics and it’s become a norm in our society that if you don’t use them, you’ll end up getting left

    In Goldberger’s article, Disconnected Urbanism, he does not say much about the advantages of a cell phone and I do not believe he should have. If in fact he had mentioned some of the positive points of a cell phone, the article would not persuade the reader as strongly.
