Do you keep up with new technology?

I really don't... it's good to get and use new technology, but when it starts interfering with your quality of life, I think it's time for a stop.  With all these new gadgets and ways of communicating and getting information, it's hard not to become a slave of news and of being connected almost all the time.  This can be highly addictive!  What we can't forget is that the live contact is much better and richer than the virtual one.  So, it's really nice to put all new technology aside for a while and enjoy a real connection, the one we lack the most: human connection.
