I spent the last three days in the Sierras, totally disconnected from technology. My cell phone didn't even work where we were camping. After several days of listening to the wind rushing through our aspen grove, hiking and swimming, enjoying the alpine ambience, I feel totally renewed and have different relationship to my computer, iphone, twitter feeds, etc. My mind is concentrated, relaxed, and not grasping for the latest news tidbit. I feel more present in my own life. And happier.
Technology is important and enjoyable, but as with most things, the Middle Way is best. Watch this PBS Newshour segment on the importance of disconnecting from all your devices and reconnecting with friends and family.
