A recent computer crash brought up so much fear and grief that I just knew, even in the midst of hell, that it was for the best - clearly I needed some time away from electronics! But even though my internet usage tends to be off the charts, even I don't bring my laptop to Starbucks. I go coffee shops to enjoy a latte and relax. I can't imagine being so attached to my email that I spend a half hour at Safeway without it. Yikes! But then, I rarely turn on my cell phone either. In my own way, I'm a bit of a Luddite. We've become a bit too available in this information age, seems to me. I don't want those "important calls" when I'm out for dinner, chatting with a friend, or walking on the beach. What did we do before we had answering machines? (I suspect we read books and took walks more often.) I couldn’t agree more.
