I'm glad that never happen when my hubby is around with me. Malahan dia yg lebih sering sibuk ngetik2 dibanding aku. I always separate my cyber life from my real life. When he's back home, no more laptop for me unless he's busy playing PS Ivys last blog post..Meeting Fandra & Casey’s New Phone

Attention must be paid and you definitely are…
Hurrah for you and congratulations too! I am delighted to see someone connecting the dots: thumb-pain-addiction-official diagnosis- call for help-consciousness- etc. etc. etc.

I wonder more and more where this is all leading, as our kids seem to be disconnecting from one-to-one personal talk/time more and more. I realize that TV brought us content and commercials which led to quest for instant gratificaiton and solving all problems in less than 30 minutes…now that we’ve watching… which is another addiction and leads to the next one. There was even a book, The Plug In Drug” around in the 1980′s that talked about this.

Keep on keeping on and thanks from California.

I had a bad RSI when working in Holland. Not from being an addict, but from working long hours with the same position. Some physiotherapy sessions relieved my misery and I’ve been moving a lot at work since then.

Yeah, it’s tremendously annoying to talk to somebody whose mind and thinking is somewhere else. With our without this gadget addiction, we should always respect our conversation partner by paying attention to what they say.

I’m also becoming a plurk and facebook addict … but at least I don’t carry blackberry in my pocket (ngga punya hehehhee)

Boneman: yes it’s indeed a frightening sight but many people do that in many countries without realising they just don’t put themselves in danger, but also others. I never understand people receiving phonecalls in the toilet cubicle as well!

Lorraine: I agree with you. I am more careful now, after what happened to me the last time;). I am also a plurk addict, I realise it and am trying not to use it at least when mr.mck is around and spend more quality time with him….

I don't get it either, the urge to share everything online whether it's on FB, Twitter, Plurk and other sites. According to my daughter, I'm a Plurk addict. What I love about micro blogging is the high tempo of how one reacts but I still choose carefully what I want to share there. Cause beware, those threads will stay on the WWW for a long time. On cell phones, I don't take the incoming calls from an anonymous number (it's mostly from a tele marketing company trying to sell some finance services). And yes, I set my cell phone off during dining or during a movie in a cinema. It is annoying to see/hear people calling at those places. Lorraines last blog post..Why I detest Radicalism

[OK, first off, I did a little bit of ranting at my site (http://gatorfeedingtips.blogspot.com/) so, instead of there, I used my art blog. You're too nice a person to have to listen to the likes of my ranting.]
So, about that backberry stuff…phone texting and all. I guess you could just go to using a laptop. Of course, I’m already nervous as it is when I see folks texting while their driving down the road at sixty-seventy MPH (100-110 KPH) …..and, I suppose I’de just faint dead away if I looked over and saw some silly dude tap tap tapping on his laptop at the same speeds.
(actually, my guess is, that happens way more than I want to know about)

How about just be you.
Wait till you get home, use a computer.
Cell phone pictures back to your computer and ad really neat captions, then send them.

I may be a real dinosaur here, but, I don’t even own a cell phone.
I value my time too much. Being over-connected DOES just suck away your soul.
