I had been awake for only 30 minutes and already had failed.
It was Jan. 17 and my day started off at 8:30 a.m. with an assignment for The Gargoyle to go 24 hours without using modern digital technology. As I found out, it proved to be much more challenging than I thought, as even eating breakfast these days requires technology.

While Flagler College is still discussing how the Florida East Coast office buildings will be used, a recent gift to the college has provided the expanding campus with another new building.
The gift, made by Robert and JoAnn Ellert, will provide for art gallery space. Their home at 48 Sevilla St., located between the Proctor Library and the new student center, will eventually become home to the college president, and an adjoining studio space already there will be expanded to become a college art gallery. The space may also be used for special functions and receptions.

When the Internet goes down, a cell phone is lost or the cable is blitzed out, most people can continue on with their day without problems. But as technology becomes more prevalent in our lives, new troubling studies are showing that dependence on the Internet and other forms of technology is becoming a form of addiction.
According to a study on Internet use among college students conducted by Keith J. Anderson, a staff psychologist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, “approximately 10 percent of Internet-using students have used the Internet to the degree that their usage meets the criteria that are parallel to those of other forms of dependence.” In other words, one out of every ten college students might show the signs of addiction to the Internet.

The “Happy Talk” premiere is over, but that is just the beginning for the film written and directed by two Flagler faculty members.
“We have submitted the film to about 20 film festivals already,” said professor Nadia Ramoutar, the film’s screenwriter and co-producer. “And we’re looking at submitting it to a number of other ones.”
