No more vacation: How technology is stealing our lives

Have we become too dependent on our mobile computers and devices? This article answers the question: “E-mail and smart phones were supposed to liberate us. So why does it feel like we never have any free time?”

Things may have gotten worse than we thought:

“There’s been a lot written about how the beeping and flashing gadgets with which we now surround ourselves keep us from sleeping, keep us from concentrating, keep us, ironically, from working. The thing that I have noticed of late is how often they seem to keep us from living.”

Definitely worth the read, especially if you know you can’t put down your iPhone or Blackberry for more that 15 minutes!
