I love using our PC, sending and receiving e-mail, surfing but good grief, there is a life worth enjoying that they do not include. How can anyone kick back and relax when they are so accessible. I can see being constantly accessible if your business depends on it.
Husband just cleared out under a grove of Poplar trees about 200 yards from the house just so we can feel isolated and enjoy the quiet. Fire pit, hammock comfy chairs and a good book.
No wonder so many people are so stressed out they are medicated.

No more accessible than a cell phone makes you. You can choose to answer or not.
What is great is how accessible it makes information to you... anytime, anywhere.
I travel a lot... I can check my flight schedule in an instant. See a graphic representation of traffic in the city I'm in, and pick a different route.
Can't find the place? I can pull up a google map in a minute.
Carry loads of searchable technical docs in a very small form factor.
Not have to carry a separate camera with me.
Record the spot I parked at in the airport without having to worry about losing a little piece of paper.
Never miss another conf call - it alerts me 15 mins ahead of time.
And again, no more accessible than a pager or cellphone makes you. After all, the desire to talk is in your hands.
