Let's see what they really watch, a little experiment, can we affect the news/stock markets ??

Just a thought, BUT what IF, we all just unplugged for a week or 2 ?? leave your phone in the car when you go shopping, pay cash only, no credit cards, turn your TV off, stop the Internet news checking, just go walk you dog, stroll around the park, don't buy anything with credit or debit cards,,, would it cause any effect on stock market ? would the news agencies be freaking out because data is missing? would retail stock drop because they can't track shopper data from credit cards.... just go about your normal business but pay cash, no electronic fingerprint, what do you think ? any ripples or nothing ??
