PBS Newshour just ran a story on Hamlet’s Blackberry, a book that explores how canonical philosophers and authors wrestled with the perils of communication connectivity in their time (such as Thoreau’s observation of people’s addiction to checking for mail at the post office). The author’s solution for his own family is basically to turn off the Internet every weekend.
How do you make a practice of keeping technology and tech-based communication at bay so that your mind has room to enjoy/process the real world and your environs? How do you decide how much is too much? Do you have tricks to make the technology serve you instead of you serving it?
