I'm a Luddite
At least that is what my husband calls me; a luddite. I don't necessarily oppose technology, but it is certainly hard for me to keep up with since it isn't very high on my list of priorities. "But still I love technology, but not as much as you, I see". (If you can name the movie that line comes from, you earn bonus points.) I think at some point when my family was living abroad, I overdosed on technology to "keep connected" with my friends and family back home. And now that I am back home, I've needed an internet and technological detox. I never actually cancelled my facebook, but I went from checking, uh-hum, quite a few times a day (or hour...), to checking only a couple of times a month, and usually only for updates on specific people.
But now we are home and I have many other things grabbing at my attention (like 6 "grabbing" hands from my 3 older children who need a lot more of me now). Plus, I had a severe MS attack within a month and a half of moving back to the U.S., which drastically has changed my life and priorities in the 2 years since. But after my 2 year sabbatical from technology and other parts of life, I am ready to try to catch up again and share some things I have learned in the process, and hope to continue to learn. I hope you join me in my journey to a simpler, but not absent from technology, life.
