the "off" switch (Score 3, Insightful)

While it's true that there's that "off" switch that's always available, the nature of the beast is always tempting you to leave it on. I have a number of friends who get ecstatic when their phone dies or gets lost because of the rush of freedom they feel, but they would never purposefully leave it behind or turn it off.

The internet can be sort of like drugs. Every addict thinks he can quit whenever he wants to, but the truth is ... he can't. Everyone thinks they could just turn off the TV or computer and have more alone time ... but they don't.
