Short answer: no.

Long answer: fuck no.

Love technology, and really don't understand how surfing the web, messing with apps and checking email causes stress on ones life.

Agree. If it does, you have a problem.

I don't understand that either. Stress is self imposed. Why someone would allow the use of technology to create stress in their lives is difficult for me to understand.

Sure, but at the same time you don't have to be available at all.

You choose to be able to be contacted 24-7. You can turn you phone on silent or, you know, off too.

Not at all. Technology is awesome and hopefully will soon make me lots of money.

But I know what you mean, some people are just flat out retarded. Those who are buried in their cell phones and things like that are annoying. But to each his own, there are 7 billion people in the world--isn't breaking my heart to say fuck those people.

I'm sick with the obsession.

I actually got into an argument with my wife the other night because she wanted to have a movie night. As soon as the movie started, she's on her droid checking facebook.

I have a MacBook given to me by the online academy I teach for. I had to explain to her how me checking my email from my students was more important than her checking her friends' status.

A bunch of my friends get mad at me because they can't send me something via cell phone because mine isn't advanced enough (I have an Env3) and they have some sort of smart phone.

I agree technology has been good to me (my best friends live 2hrs away, but we can still play video games together). However, people need to calm the fuck down. You are the controller, not the controllee.
