Disconnected

There's been a lot of talk these days of a man who strove for change, who now has to change. A drive that culminates in being cut off from the world, in a way. The argument is that his new role would demand unfiltered information, and all his decrees would have to be made public.

Its been only five years since I entered that bandwagon. From a basic connection, to one with a camera, to the best selling piece this year. I wonder, would I be able to give it up, even for a day? Its already one of the things that I check for before I close the door at home. Is it just me?

Have we become so reliant on the network we have? I hate the irony of using the phrase, "the human network," but is that what we've become? Its already well accepted that we are a social species, and technology seems to have made it easier to be social while being anti-social all the same. "Connecting" with others through our hand-held devices, laptops, while sitting at home or at work. That's evolution!

Don't hang up on me, cause
I'm hung up on you
