Show your gadgets who’s in charge - unplug for the weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Do you feel as if you control your gadgets? Or do they control you?
I was thinking about that this morning as I charged my cellphone, logged on to separate accounts for work and for personal e-mail and disabled the home alarm system.
I drove to work, shared the elevator with a fellow employee checking a Blackberry for e-mail and then settled in at my desk staring at two monitors, a Mac, a PC, a telephone I’ve never quite figured out and a Palm that has a better memory than I do.
I’m all for technology. I make a living writing about it and have been messing with it for fun since I was a kid. But it’ll be nice, over the holiday weekend, to unplug some of the electronics and turn my full attention to baseball and the barbecue grill.
