I’m a firm believe in unplugging from everything now and then, getting to know oneself, dreaming and recharging batteries you may not even know exist.

I don’t believe that computers are a bathroom necessity or that they promote intimacy in bed; I do believe the Internet can be addictive.

I also believe that, as with most things, you have a choice—although it’s a lot harder once you’re addicted.

But it seems that there are millions of people who aren’t poor, aren’t old and aren’t connected. Even though they use it at work, they have no interest in being connected the rest of the time.

Whether to be wired, along with how much to be wired, is a choice that should be

• made consciously,
• not be driven by peer pressure,
• independent of the “cool” factor, and
• stay within your control at all times.

Technology is a great tool—as long as you run it and it doesn’t run you.

Do that, and you can have it all.
