What kind of poor? Economically?

colleenCriss: LOL

Hahah!

Any kind of poor. I know people who would by gov definition be earning below poverty level, but they don't "live poor" by appearance...if that makes sense.

iPhones are more important for survival than food, after all (how else could you call for pizza?)

They don't have internet and cable at home, they go to the library for homework stuffs. No cell phones, but they have a landline. They seem happy.

Oh sorry, I replied in the middle... You referred to that.

Perhaps their inability afford things that tie you to your computer, work, etc., has made their lives richer.

I don't know... I guess it would depend on if you get personal benefit from using a computer, or if you like your work?

I've normally liked mine (work), and didn't feel I was missing on anything because I would need to be out from home for a few days. I miss that now (being out from home from time to time, because of work.)

Anyway, I've digressed quite fast =)

Ah, I miss the days before employers had the ability to issue iphones...days when I could say I'm taking the day off and really be off...now I'm just not in the office, but still answering calls..sigh.

That said, if I walk out of my house without my personal cell phone by accident, I feel naked and out of touch with the world all day

Same way in this house, my guy is always on call

My phone is always in silence mode. Then I forget it 1/4 the times I go out, and you can only call and send text messages. I love technology, but I sworn, drama style, that I would not let it make me a slave.

For example, if I'm out having dinner, that's enjoy time. No checking phone, no checking email, and specially, no stupid photos to upload to Facebook.

"Take a photo from me, upload it to Facebook, and you'll need surgery to remove the camera from your body" is indeed one of my motto's.

Our company covers so many time zones that I really can't seem to get away from the damn work phone. I can't even imagine what I may have said in my sleep...lol.

Use band-aids (I worry about what I say when I sleep. I know that notes have been taken, and the next day I've been asked by the meaning.)

Well they have not fired me yet so it is quite possible that I'm smarter in my sleep than when I'm awake
