I’m very serious in this matter and I myself do alot of research as well. Either way it was a well thoughtout and nice read so I figured I would leave you a comment., Hello there, I don’t go along with everything in this write-up, but you do make some very excellent points.

I actually spent four days in Boston recently, and didn't check the laptop once. It was so freeing, and the world didn't come to an end because I was unconnected. On the flip side, catching up on everything once I got back home was...um...a bit overwhelming. I eventually had to come to terms with the fact that it wasn't necessary to read *every* item in my Google Reader, or every update in my Twitter feed. @Sharon: So true.

I have bemoaned the fact that taking a holiday now involves a laptop and internet connection, making it impossible to truly escape. Good points, especially about being too available.

Now that I work full-time from home, I'm just as dependent upon my desktop computer. I'm constantly blogging, pitching, editing, and checking updates on Google Reader and Twitter. And sometimes, I steal my husband's laptop so I can do all of the above in bed as well! Perhaps we should set up a detox plan... @Robert: Oh, it’s totally an addiction.

I am one of those people, Altho I do not have a smart phone per say, I do spend hours, days, weeks, weekends on the internet, PC. TO the extent that your points about the smartphone would apply to me as well. Is it an addiction? mmmm I wonder. Thanks (BTW 31 day challenge) Steph,
