I just spent a week not touching the computer. Like heroin it creeps up on you. You have a go for a while, get away with it, have a break, go back and think you can just give up any time. Next thing you know you are a slave.I have more respect for smackheads than computer geeks though. If you use a computer everyday, you are an addict. And an addict that learns snippets of crap and nothing substantial aout the rest of the world. A heroin addict learns far more about thier moral fibre, thier respect for other people, thier self control or lack of it. They also usually read more. And not just wikiclips of crap. A computer head may look up Darwin on wikipaedia. A smackhead would be more inclined to have the mental space to read 'The Origin of Species'. Journalism has suffered to such a degree that untruth spreads like flu. Junkies don't give a fuck what other folk think of them whilst Computer heads spend thier time compiling facebook profiles of characters that bare little resemblance to themselves. A smackhed may steal your wallet but not your perception of them.
