Unplug soon before it’s too late

For some of us, it’s already too late. Technology is so embedded into our personal and professional lives that the thought of being disconnected for any extended period of time is now foreign to us. Should everyone in that situation consider finding a true hiatus from the grind of the digital age?

Many years ago, my digital life was simple. Video games were my introduction to the world of interactive media and when email came along, I thought it was a great. Logging on involved screeching modems and just getting online was an event. Once I finally logged in, my inbox was mostly empty and most of the emails were directly for me from people I knew.
