I would first off like to give props to the people who live like this every day. I do not know how you could live your life without speaking a word; I barely got through 90 minutes! Overall I thought this was pretty challenging, but I liked it. I may actually take a whole day of silence just to see if I can actually do it and it is good for your mind too. It really showed that you need your voice more than you realize you even do, even if you don't talk all that much. You really don't realize what you have until you no longer have it anymore; I believe in that quote 100%.
I have learned that although you do need your voice to make tasks simpler everyday tasks can be done; maybe not easy like normally but they're not impossible. To complete each task we did today one big skill needed was patience another being the ability to read lips. That came in handy when writing something down became too much work. Without patience you would not have been able to get through the block without hurting someone. It took a lot of patience. Another important thing was the ability to be adaptable. Everyone pretty much adapted to their situation fairly well which shows us that the human race is extremely adaptable. I would really encourage everyone to try to do this for just a little while. It really goes to show you how lost you would be or how good you could get along without having the ability to talk.
