Have you ever felt your Blackberry, iPhone or Android vibrate even though you weren't wearing it at the time? 

When was the last time you came to dinner while it was still hot or the family was still at the table?

Do you get snippy when a loved one disrupts your online activity?

These are all simple examples of a phenomenon called Technology Addiction. It is something to wave off. People are suffering from the instant gratification of being online and connected. We have grown so dependent to our technology devices that we cannot survive without them. 

I have met with people who didn't get on their flight because they had forgotten their cell phone at home. I have met with couples who are contemplating divorce because one spouse feels that the cell phone or computer is having an affair with the respective spouse. Kids are sleeping at their desks because they were up all night texting.

And umm, I think we all know what happened to Anthony Weiner, among others, who gave up a promising career because of their obsessiveness with technology. This is no laughing matter.

If you are reading this blog, then you are also a technology user. You may even be suffering from some of the things mentioned. 

So, reply to this blog and then shut off the computer and go do something analog. The digital world could use a rest.
