Is Your Daily Life Enslaved by the Electronic World?

Unfortunately I Would Have to Say, Yes

I got this one from my good friend Michael Dudley, as we recently discussed our mutual tendencies to get way too busy and, at least in my case, tethered to the infernal laptop/blackberry combo. I struggle with this one constantly and found this short piece from MediaCulture particularly interesting, especially from the point of view of privacy and mini-celebrity. It also made me think more and more about my recent decision to delete my Facebook account - alas, when I find the time :-( This seems more and more like a good idea because: 1) I don't check it regularly 2) I like my friends, but I can keep in touch in person and other more satisfying ways 3) I increasingly find the ways Facebook can be abused hard to accept 4) it will probably be dead in a year or so anyway, so why invest so much in a fling? Anyway, you get the idea...
