I've been feeling overwhelmed and chained to technology lately.
Just wait till you are implanted with your first crackberry so that you can be connected to work 24/7 no matter where in the world you are.
Technology can be a very effective business and personal tool, but too often it becomes a ball and chain. I dropped out of that world 10 years ago. I suffered withdrawal (the feeling that I was no longer part of the technology/power elite) for a little while, but all in all I am quite happy to be disconnected when I want.
Personally I feel that the laptop and cell phone have become another tool to extract more work out of you for the same wage.
