The Winter of Our Disconnect - Susan Maushart Interesting story of a mother and her three teenagers who pull the plug on technology!

I learned a new word: Thaasophobia, the fear of boredom.... another disease I have, lol! It is hard to get bored with all the technology we have today, but turning it all off = thaasophobia!

According to Thoreau, "our inventions are wont to be pretty things which distract our attention from serious things."

"Interestingly, psychoanalysts have observed that boredom and clinical depression are closely related." Hmmmmmm....

Recommended for anyone who would like to cut back on their use of technology....
