Human Voices Wake Us

I don’t Twitter or do RSS feeds or anything else that updates me every minute.  I figure I don’t need to be a slave to that kind of immediate “look at me now!”  I know I would drop whatever I was doing and check out the latest.  And, yes, I’ve read the blogs about how great Twitter is and how the man Twittered he was arrested and had tons of people automatically working to get him free.  Seeing how I don’t plan on going to Egypt anytime soon, I figure I’m okay with a regular cell phone.  The thing is, I don’t want to be in touch 24/7.  I want to choose when I want to read my blogs or check my email.  (My husband gets email alerts on his cell phone, as I’m sure many do, and he is constantly looking at it when it buzzes.)   I use Bloglines. Whenever I feel like it or have a few extra minutes, I can check and see which of my favorite blogs have new posts.  I like the fact that I control that, not some electronic notification.  I love technology and all that it can do.  I’m in total support of all those tools.   Everyone should keep using them if they make people happy.  Frankly, I have enough stuff going on in my own life to need to know each minute what’s going on in yours.
