If it wasn’t for Facebook, MySpace (zip it, Matt), Twitter & texting, I am not sure how I would keep up with everyone. Used to be things like email & instant message were enough. Now, I check my Yahoo email, Facebook, & Twitter accounts daily, use Yahoo IM for work, AIM for friends, & will occasionally update one or more of them from my Treo. Once in a while I check my site’s email & MySpace account. Add on to that all of my work emails & phone calls &, for some, you’ve got communications overload. However, I sometimes feel like it’s not enough.
How connected should you be? The quick & easy response is that there is no one, right answer. It depends on your wants & needs. But these change over time, thus affecting our habits. Both our professional & personal lives play important roles in this as well.
While connecting people quickly & in ever-increasing ways, is technology really pushing us apart?
As we become increasingly mobile, will our ways become inherently nomadic?
Normally, I’d banter on about this, but I want your opinion.
