Can Aria Wallace Survive Without Texting and the Internet?
12-year-old Nickelodeon star Aria Wallace (Roxy Hunter, iCarly) has challenged herself to go mostly unconnected for forty days. Aria Wallace will have support from the creators of the tween book series, Temptation of a Generation. From October 12 through November 20, 2009, Wallace will be stripped of her cell phone and texting privileges and limited to only a few minutes a day online for school and business related work.
"The Temptation Series has inspired me to help promote real-time communication!" said Wallace. "I want to take teens back to the days when we had face-to-face interaction and expressed emotions in person! Teens today need to know how awesome it is to actually see emotions rather than an emoticon, and be able to laugh instead of just saying LOL!"
"Aria Wallace is Going Old School: Unplugged for 40 Days," will consist of the following rules;
No cell phone use or texting,
Home phone use for 10 minutes per day,
Payphones are allowed,
No social networking,
Internet use is limited to daily blog/vlog and schoolwork as necessary.
You can follow Aria's blog to see if she survies the harrowing ordeal. The blog will include daily video diaries and blog entries.
