That also means that when my connective technology fails, I am suddenly isolated and unproductive. I'm not hooked up to any medical monitoring devices, but I suspect my blood pressure rises and primitive areas of my brain start firing. In other words, I get angry and frustrated.
So as I sat here for 90 minutes this afternoon, waiting for technology to work properly again, I found myself thinking about how dependent I am on so much technology, and how so many of us, particularly through social media, are becoming more and more so. Yet we know technology can, and at least occasionally will, fail.
But I don't see myself turning back. We're on this road. But this afternoon I kept thinking how nice it would be to be working in my garden, instead, doing something simple and literally down-to-earth. It has a real nostalgic appeal...

Ted, I agree with you completely. That's why I try (operative word) not to check work email after hours.
I feel your pain! I often feel soo lost without my daily tweets or mail and wish I was disciplined as Matt who doesn't check e-mail after hours. But unfortunately I am a true addict who even takes my techno fix with me to the bush when I am on holiday.. ; )
