I find it amusingly ironic that I'm typing this post on my new phone (but I must do this to get better with the touch screen keyboard). Anyway, in some instances I do begin to feel disconnected from the world if I'm offline. But like lumi it doesn't kill me. I become less of a consumer of information and more of a creator and active seeker. Because I'm older I know how life was before the Internet, and by choice I haven't watched TV in over 12 years.
Will post more on this later, have to go to work. Ciao!
