Technology, although wonderful, makes the world feel small sometimes. We are all plugged in all the time and we’re always available via cell and email. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go on vacation and not worry about work piling up in your inbox?

I guess before cell phones no one felt guilty for being unavailable. We saw people face to face and we were available on our time table instead of 24/7. Think about it–just that expression exemplifies the high pressure world we now live in!!

P.S. I’ve got all the gadgets too, but I try to remember what my friends look like and what the world sounds like without my iPod or cell in my ear!

we did not expect to be able to get in touch with everyone we knew at any time, day or night. we also left the house and did what ever we wanted without some idiot interrupting just to see what we were doing.

also if while out, if you really wanted to call someone, believe it or not, there was phones on the side of building and inside stores that for a dime you could make a phone call.
