Reaching a saturation point

This may just be me, but lately I have found that I feel that I've reached or am reaching a 'saturation point' with all the technology - computers, tablets, smart phones, gadgets everywhere. Don't get me wrong, they are a part of MY life and of course here to stay - they are engrained in virtually every part of our daily life but it seems you can't go anyplace without this electronic, or that gadget, or video games (which YES I do like as well) .... but it sometimes feels stifling to me, if that makes sense.

Maybe it's one of those things you just need to step back from, unplug for a few hours or so, and just well, unplug our life for a little while. I find my phone lights up every time I get a text, response from Quipio, Pinterest and what not. And yes, I can go into the settings and silence them, or turn the reminders off, but for some reason, I don't, it's like a security blanket. Even if it annoys me, I would be lost without seeing that phone light up.

Guess all this can be addicting in its own way.

Does anyone else feel stifled, suffocated or feel like they are reaching some kind of saturation point in all this technology?

Yes, most definitely. It's why I sometimes leave my phone up in my room for hours just to have a break from it.

I see what you mean, and sometimes I feel too connected and leave the computer and phone away from me, but often times I don't. :)

Yes, I feel the same. It´s all too much, in my opinion.
I often leave the house without my phone, and I take breaks away from the internet. I can´t stand that we all have to be able to reach each other whenever.

oh wow
i guess i will date myself here.

my absolute happiest memories from childhood are when i was roaming around barefoot in tall grass in summertime. i was no where near a phone, tv...and no computers yet.

i just dont allow them to stay on for that long, just to maintain some sanity during the day. :)
