MTV boss Judy McGrath jokes to Reuters that she considered therapy after she discovered she had fallen asleep on her BlackBerry and Arianna Huffington predicts that the next big thing to hit the digital generation will be logging off. “Everybody's so overloaded,” Huffington tells a reporter at MediaPost Publications. Our “inner lives” are failing to be nourished in the digital age. “We are incredibly sleep deprived.”
After learning that my blackberry worked in all major cities throughout Egypt and Jordan, for my next trip I decided to still bring it, but not have e-mails forwarded to it. And then I learned that I could still access my facebook in Bangkok on my blackberry. Thankfully it didn't work in Cambodia and Laos, all temptation was removed….except for internet cafes….yeah okay, I'm an technology addict. Anybody know of somewhere I can travel to that doesn't have internet access? Maybe Antarctica. They probably don't have internet cafes there….
