Everyone here knows I love the internet. But carrying it with me all the time, everywhere I go, has come to seem a bit much. Not a waking moment goes by where I don't feel a gnawing urge to "check up on things", mostly facebook, but also the new york times and other assorted blogs I read. The pull of the virtual is so strong, I think it is interfering with my day to day life in profound, depressing ways. Tbh, I am 98% sure that I am going to downgrade to a flip phone, which Verizon still sells.
Anyway, how do you feel about our brave new world of constant connectivity? The question, at one level, feels done to death, but at the same time I get the sense that many people haven't negotiated their relationship to technology in their personal lives at all.
