Always On and Loving It…

No, not me. I don’t enjoy being always on. May be it’s simply that I think slow and I need time to think.

So many people ask me why I am not on Twitter. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am not even on an Instant Messenger so it’s a long way to go before I get there.

But sometimes I wonder about justifications of people who are addicted to a service like Twitter. Nobody talks about the cost of being interrupted all the time.

I don’t have anything with Twitter or any service similar to that. I can’t handle constant interruptions for now. That’s just me. If you are comfortable with ongoing interruptions, more power to you. However, please don’t rave about the benefits without addressing the cost part of the equation.

My $.02 of course.

Amen to that.

I thought I was the only one who didn’t see the wisdom in being MORE connected. I have WAY too much work on my plate to tell the world how I’m feeling or what I’m doing every minute of the day.

To me, communication is much more effective when it’s thoughtful, meaningful and with purpose. Just my $.02.

These little monsters that we carry around can severely rob you precious time and concentration if you do not consciously control the urge to “check” every now and then what is dropping into your in box.The sudden urge to respond with all the vigor at your command is a habit as serious as smoking or alcoholism and promotes fatigue. Fatigue is no more praiseworthy than drunkenness; both are evidences of bad habits.
