National ‘Un-Plug’ Weekend Starts Today

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA

So, Prepare to be Bored This Weekend

Maybe it’s time for you, this ME-P and your tech devices to take a break from each other?

A Shabbat of sorts – if you will!

Why?

A Jewish organization called Reboot is planning the third annual National Day of Unplugging from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. It’s a time to disconnect from the web and reconnect with your friends and family.

Make the Pledge

You can also pledge to be a part of the cause, which urges you to “Turn off your cell phone. Stop the constant e-mailing, texting, Tweeting and Facebooking to take time to notice the world around you.”

So far, more than 1,330 people have pledged to unplug.

Assessment

Oh, by the way, Sunday is National Make Up for Unplugging by Bingeing on the Internet Day.

Health Care Uses for Twitter [Suggestions for Micro-Sharing]

Health Care Should be the Leader in MicroSharing – Why isn’t It?

[By Staff Reporters]

According to by Phil Baumann, RN BSN; @ www.PhilBaumann.com

“Twitter may either be the greatest time wasting prank ever played on the internet community – or- it may be the best thing since sliced bread. It’s easy to make the first case if you read the public time-line for a few minutes. It’s a bit harder to make the second, but I’ll do my best to make it. Specifically, I’d like to take a stab at offering 140 health care uses for Twitter. Twitter’s simplicity of design, speed of delivery and ability to connect two or more people around the world provides a powerful means of communication, idea sharing and collaboration. There’s potency in the ability to burst out 140 characters, including a shortened URI. Could this power have any use in healthcare? After all, for example, doctors and nurses.”
