I think that we will reach a point where people want to be “disconnected” from the internet. I find myself getting increasingly exasperated every time I get another text message, email or “poke” that I’m required to respond to.

Sometimes it’s just nice to be offline…

I agree big_D, the whole thing of being connected at all times, especially to the net, does nothing for me either.

I’m still not convinced “I” need one.

I have a mobile ‘phone, it makes telephone calls, sends SMS messages and has some other features I’ve never needed or used.

I have access to a computer at home and work. I also have a laptop, but I just leave that at my girlfriends place now.

When I’ve been out and about, I’ve just never thought “ooh, I need Internet access right now!”

The real world has so much going for it, without walking around in an electronic induced haze.

Heck, when I go out I often leave my mobile ‘phone at home…
