Vacation as a Detox

Back from a two- week vacation spent mostly in village. Other than the obvious benefits of rest, relaxation, meeting family and friends there was one not so obvious - that of weaning away from internet, emails and mobile calls and text.

Felt good to get 'unplugged' from the 'wired' world; but all through, I had this nagging feeling that I was missing something. Amazing how quickly we have gotten used to being connected in the world of internet, wireless and mobile technologies.

Wonder what the feeling may be like in another 25 years, as the promises of all- pervasive, ubiquitous computing come to fruition.
