I just finished reading Jedidah's column Technology: the Good, the Bad, the Missed moments and I agree wholeheartedly with her comments.  I've often thought a lot of the stress people have is that they don't give themselves a moment's rest.  This pertains mostly to those who MUST be on their cellphones non-stop, while they ignore those they are with at the moment.  It is not only rude, but it is tragic.  I am reminded of a quote by Alert Einsten: "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."  I fear we're almost there.
