The experiment I chose to do for the McCandless project was to go a full school day without my phone and not tell anyone why I am doing that. The reaction I got when I went a full day of school without my phone was people thought my phone ran out of power at school. During the experiment I felt pretty bored when I had any free time when I would normally be using my phone to text people so instead I started reading during my free time because it was a pretty good book. I also found myself constantly waiting for the school day to be over so I could go home and get on my phone. I wasn't surprised by my reaction or other’s because I my phone does run out of battery often at school and I do text a lot during school so I wasn't surprised that I was waiting for school to be over more than usual. Based on this experiment you are “free” not to conform but I think that sometimes going against the social norm may be a bad idea and lead to trouble like what happened to Chris after what he did.
