What started off as a financial goal to afford the iPhone 3G,  turned into a social experiment.  I wanted to see if people would maintain their communication with me even though I didn’t have a phone.  Despite Facebook etc. being a good alternative, it just didn’t provide the realtime connection that cell phones do today.

I’m not holding a grudge against anyone,  but I truly did feel cut off from the world for those 5 months.  I did it to myself,  but it was for the right reasons.  All the cell phone bills that would have accumulated up to July 11th were cash in my pocket.  To me, it shows how bad you really want something.  Wanting a phone may seem like a ridicules example,  but anything can be a goal.

Could you do this same experiment?
