Majority of family,friendship,media,social networking,students,television could not help writing a novel about that experience! They wrote more than 110,000 words, which is almost equal to the words containing in a 400-page novel.

Most of them admitted that they were 'incredibly addicted' to the media, the important reason being losing the personal connections. For them, going without media meant going without friends and family.

They also commented that 'it is better to die' if they have to avoid television on, in the background of their living rooms.
