Previously known as 'turn off the TV week' brought to us by the folks at [ADBUSTERS](http://www.adbusters.org/home/?ref=katecarruthers.com) and it is supposed to be held 21-27 April, but you could really try it any time.  
  
The idea is to "take your TV, your DVD player, your video iPod, your XBOX 360, your laptop, your PSP, and say goodbye to them all for seven days. Simple, but not at all easy. Like millions of others before you, you’ll be shocked at just how difficult - yet also how life-changing - a week spent unplugged can really be."  
  
Not sure if I can commit to unplug all my gadgets for a week? But perhaps it is a good thing to try?
