I have had to go without my computer for a week and it was not only weird, but it also seemed very unproductive because a lot of my marketing is done online as well as work communication. There's really no getting around it these days and with Covid having moved so many people to working remotely, it's becoming more common to work from home.

The worst part though is that even though we are the most connected we've ever been in our lives via technology, I also find that there is a huge disconnection as well.

I've sat in a room where members of a family were gathered together for a weekend visit and I watched as each one of them lost interest in the conversation and one by one they started taking out their phones and the conversation trailed off to nothing. It is very strange to also see a group of friends gathered around a table at a restaurant but paying each other no attention because they're all on their phones or taking photos of their food. It's a fine line. Yes we depend on them for a lot these days, but they shouldn't be replacing one on one contact because then we become slaves to them.
