When I want to talk to someone I just pick up the phone and call someone. Go ahead, give it try. Call you mother, your wife or one of your old buddies from college... or if you need new clients, call into some random company and ask to talk to the switchboard operator - they always have time to talk.

It's now perfectly plausible to foresee a future where we all just sit in our chairs with our brains plugged directly in to the network. Our virtual lives become indistinguishable from reality and the analog world exists only in a lab. The movie “The matrix” keeps taking on new relevance.

It's good to get away from all of the message saturation. I enjoy what technology and the Internet enables me to do, but I need more engagement and mental stimulation than it can provide. Nothing beats meeting friends for dinner, going to a live show, reading a book, playing cards, hiking, camping...I'm a geek for sure, but it is getting back to reality that helps me energize for the virtual.

I've adopted a phrase, my job is a pain in the butt, literally. I'm sitting on it all day. You know you're addicted when you get up at 12:01 a.m. to check Google analytics and how your posts are tracking. "I wonder if I can go a whole day, or god forbid a whole weekend, without turning on my computer?" More than likely, NAH, unless you're using a WiFi enabled wireless (cell) phone. Have a friend who went camping in northern New Mexico. Had to run to the Interstate every evening to check his Twitter - and he's over 60! Len,
