going with out technology

As I mentioned in my intro post, I am a bit of a tech geek. I’ve got two cell phones, two laptops, 3 desktops, and various other “connected” devices.

I had to recently send my personal cell phone to the factory to get some warranty repair work done on it – it was gone 11 days. I had all my other stuff, including my work-issued cell phone which is almost as capable as my beloved Droid RAZR and I was still hurting. I wanted my RAZR back as soon as it left.

How can someone get so attached to something? It’s just a source of music, phone calls and email, and quite honestly a source of a good deal of frustration. I was not with out my normal connectivity at all but I wanted it back!

However on the total opposite side of things, I can put it away/turn it off and go days with out even wanting to check the time with it, if I’m out in the sticks. Weird.
