It's incredible how fast time can fly by when you;re working on the computer! Also, there's not a lot of moving associated with working on the computer all the time and I know that there are a lot of back and neck problems that are associated with computer work. I do think, however, that bloggers experiencing health complications as a result of trying to keep up with the ever-amazing Internet is a symptom of a much lrager problem. I think America in general has forgotten how to relax. We've all got Red Queen syndrome in that we're all running as fast as we can to stay in the same place. There's beauty in letting go of that, though, and I respect Stephanie's decision to remove herself from the rat race.

You're absolutely correct about time flying by while on the computer. I glance at the clock and am usually astounded at what time it is. I agree with you that we have forgotten how to relax. We're always on the move and have problems taking time for ourselves. It's very difficult when we're connected to the world through a variety of means. I think I'll experiment and remove myself from technology for a day (turn off the cell and computer) and make myself unreachable. I really cannot remember the last day I wasn't online. Maybe I'll blog about it. Thanks again for sharing.

Technology is a great thing, but we need to guard against overload for our own good ... here is a song that captures its incessant nature for me!
