In recent years, the days leading up to a holiday always cause me
to feel slightly anxious about 'switching off'. Literally and
metaphorically. Have I answered all the important emails? How will I
survive without a laptop for two weeks? What will happen if I don't send
any tweets?
Although
I can imagine that not everyone feels like this, the articles and blog
posts that I've read suggest that I'm not alone in my fear of
disconnecting and I summarised some of these in a recent blog post. But the growing intrusion of electronic devices
and communication into every moment of our lives is also causing people
to re-evaluate the reality of being 'always on' and strive to create
more 'disconnected moments'.
