Okay, I'm on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. I have this blog. I use Shutterfly and Snapfish. I've played with Groupon and Yelp, and I love Google everything! I use my iPhone and Dell tablet, as well as my Kindle. I'm finally texting and playing Words With Friends. I'm sure there's more, but....
Tonight, I signed up for Instagram. Do I really need that too? What about Tumblr? So much stuff is out there, but I am only one otherwise very busy person. Connecting with people takes on way too many forms these days. In some ways I feel more connected now than before, though I now spend much more time at home than before. I find this very odd, and sometimes unsettling.
There's only 24 hours in each day. Choosing how to use them is an ever evolving experiment. I wonder how Arnold Bennett's book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, would differ if it were written today.
Oh no, the overload is overwhelming. I think that I will take time to reconnect with my friends Crayola and Sharpie. They nicely get along with a newer friend, Moleskine, whose diverse family is growing in my house.
