Time for a technology de-tox?
I made the cardinal sin today. A friend and I met for coffee and were having a great conversation. After a while I waited for him to get distracted and look briefly away. Probably only a few seconds – but enough time for me to scroll rapidly through the new messages on my phone. When I looked back up, his face said it all. You sad sod – you can’t even share a cup of coffee without checking your messages. Rachel Cohn knows all about this pattern of behaviour and reminds us to take a step back and NOT be permanently wired, or wirelessly, connected.
