On Wednesday, though, they're asking the church's 17,000-plus attendees to do the unthinkable: turn off their laptops, iPods and cell phones, and take a break from technology.

They're calling it a National Facebook Fast. For a whole day, the Shooks want people to swap digital communication for face time with family and friends. More...

  2. Almost half of your day is spent consuming media...
  3. The day Facebook was closed...
  4. Is the Internet ruining our minds?
  5. The postman, the postman can...
