I ...Thanks, and thanks for stopping by to comment!<br /><br />I do have Internet at my house now. Hooray! And yes, I do agree that it's become something of a fad to unplug. Not that it can't be a good, beneficial thing at times, but like you said, the importance some people give it seems a bit much.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15725049899131699912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101059655713608720.post-11958346062766632942014-08-21T10:59:47.407-05:002014-08-21T10:59:47.407-05:00Welcome (almost) back.

...Welcome (almost) back. Nice to see a post again!<br /><br />I think it's almost a fad at times to be "unconnected" and be away from the internet. I'm not saying there are no benefits to unplugging for a while, but I think it's sometimes elevated to moral high ground by some people. "I got off of the internet for a week, and I feel so much more at ease with life and the universe." If that's true, great for them. But like you I see it as a way of remaining connected with other people, with information, with news, and so on. I don't feel like Buddha or anything when I go without internet for several days or longer. I just feel like I'm dealing with a pain in the ass.Ty Unglebowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836504600859993438noreply@blogger.com
