I still have the habit of checking my email way too often to see if there are new comments though.Nostrahttp://www.myfilmviews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309932466795335827.post-74071028996694432992012-05-16T19:48:11.295-07:002012-05-16T19:48:11.295-07:00Great post; very funny and sadly true!

I could easily stay weeks off Facebook, but Twitter? If I don't read it for a day, I feel like I've lost track of time and am behind with so many news.

I don't even miss it while I'm out. I take my Ipod and listen to books on tape on music, but that's it. I really enjoy those moments with just me, nature and whoever else is running on the trail. <br /><br />We've become slaves to the beeps and notifications; very Pavlovian.
