Technology is part of a reality and, yes, there are people who live their lives by it (such as those who “push” it and such as those 16 year old’s whose lives are dictated by Facebook and twitter), but aren’t you only as involved as you want to be?

Regardless of how many Facebook, Twitter and blog accounts you have, of what ISP you subscribe to, how many computers you work on every day, material realty - such as what you own, the relationships you conduct- the person you live with, the issues you have with your car, the money you spend on groceries - are all real to a non digital reality. Certainly, technology has a place in almost everyone’s life, but just because you use doesn’t make it your entire reality.
