Unplug this Friday

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) - April 4, 2011 (WPVI) -- Amherst College has a message for students -- unplug.

The Massachusetts liberal arts school is asking students to turn off their gizmos -- at least for a few minutes this coming Friday.

The idea is to get the students thinking about the harmful effects of excessive technology use.

The school would like students to power-down their laptops, smartphones and iPods for at least 15 minutes Friday.

Who knows?

The college kids may find that friending doesn't have to involve a computer or Facebook.
