hyperlinked minds

Here's a challenge for the digitally connected, compulsive media consumer you.

For a complete day, can you converse (with someone else or with yourself) without referencing any idea/ thought/ incidence/ information that has come from outside of your own head? so no use of cultural phrases, metaphors, tropes, news items, memes or previously narrated experiences.
The only exception is the use of language in its basic form. (commonly used words meant literally)

Experiment 2:
Spend a day conscious of thoughts that are not yours.

Experiment 3:
Spend a day conscious of the meaning of what we say during the day. how much of it actually makes sense? (How many people actually know what they are talking about anyways?)
