CNN.com: University bans Facebook, Twitter for a week



A very good idea from harrisburg University of Science and Technology:

Pennsylvania's Harrisburg University of Science and Technology will enact a week-long social media blackout for all students in residence.
The students will be forbidden from using Twitter,Facebook, instant messaging and any other online communication except for e-mail.
NPR reports that university Provost Eric Darr chose to enact the temporary ban because he wants students to think about how much they're using technology in their daily lives and what kind of impact it has.

There's some info on the University's website here.
