You're cut off

So there's this show that's on VH1 and it's called "You're cut off". Basically, some rich chicks move to some cottage and they don't have any of their money, cars, clothes, etc. When they first arrived, they had probably 5 bags each...they had to condense all of their crap into one small bag. You should've seen them...with their nails done and 12 pairs of shoes...they were pissed. Ultimately, their parents cut them off from all of their luxuries that they pay for and they going through 'rich girl rehab'. It's HILARIOUS at times, but hopefully these chicks get the ultimate reality check.
Could you imagine how different our lives would be...first off if we were rich..ha! But if you cut yourself off from all your luxuries for even a week?! Their rehab program is 2 months (I believe), but imagine...no cell..NO FACEBOOK (whaaat?)...no car...no email...instead, you'd have to send a letter, walk to the grocery store, and actually visit someone, instead of webcams. We've become so dependent on machines, it's ridiculous. At times, I just imagine what life would be like if everything shut off.
I think in a way, it'd be fun to just chill with people without cell phones, computers, cars and just play board games, talk (everyone knows I'd LOVE this...ha) and bond without all the electronic crap.
So nonetheless, I think it'd be a great reality check for recent generations to not rely on computers so much...actually learn how to do a math problem the long way and THEN use a calculator.
Sorry (I think) that it's so short, but my little venting for the night...hopefully I fulfilled your literature reading for the day :-) Work in the am...holler
