There's been a constant barrage in the media about who is realeasing the latest smart phone, everyone seems to be jumping on this band wagon hoping to score the latest gadget.  I don't proclaim myself to be an afficianato of smart phones so I'm left holding onto my simple cell phone with nothing more than the ability to call people.  I like gadgets as much as the next guy but I don't see how having the world in my pocket saves me from a life of potential boredom.  Perhaps I'm getting older and still believe that we should unplug sometimes?

Does knowing everything in an instant really make life less stressful?

The problem with all your friends knowing what you're up via facebook, twitter, etc. is that your friends always know what you're up to along with 1000 other people connected to them.  This is simpler how?

You want to make a difference in the world, give up your phone for a few days and enjoy the silence.
