National Day of Unplugging: Places to Disconnect

You know that commercial where the vacationing guy reclining in a beach chair tosses his cell phone into the pristine aqua sea in front of him? In this age of hyper-connectivity, we could all use a break like that. A non-profit think tank is advocating the second annual day of rest from the world of electronic communication on Friday, March 4 to Saturday, March 5, from sundown to sundown. Turn off the smart phone. Unplug your computer (that's right--no email). Forget status updates and tweets. Take a deep breath, now one more--and get out there and enjoy being a luddite for the day in Los Angeles. (Photo: LACMA)
