After the initial anxiety subsided, it was utter bliss to be free of my obsessive reliance on technology. Time took on a diferent dimension -slow, meandering and to be savoured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-70479976878388392442008-08-05T02:32:00.000-04:002008-08-05T02:32:00.000-04:00I love going on holidays to those mountain-side de...I love going on holidays to those mountain-side destinations that still don't have mobile phone access, newspapers or televisions. It is SO relaxing!<BR/>Personally, not watching the news/accessing internet news brings my stress levels a LOT lower, which is interesting because very few things on the news every affect me directly, but they must cause a bit of worry. <BR/><BR/>I hope you had a great break. :DThe Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02368935358031860432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-50887838124695629202008-08-04T16:04:00.000-04:002008-08-04T16:04:00.000-04:00All these electronic devices can reduce the qualit...All these electronic devices can reduce the quality of life. The more connected to technology a person is, the greater the risk. The high school students I teach want a cellphone in one hand and an iPod in the other. They text nonstop if allowed, even to somebody 4 feet away!<BR/><BR/>Being 57 I did not grow up with cell phones, text messages, and email. I LIKE not carrying a cell phone though I own one. I'd rather speak with humans than type. I'll go now & have a conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
