I have two Google email accounts – one for business and the other for… business. The Google enforced ‘rest’ that I am compelled to take gives me some time to sit back and think about how dependent we are on technology, and wonder whether it’s gotten out of hand.

Let’s do a count. I have:

1) 4 email accounts: 2 Google, 1 Yahoo, 1 corporate
2) 3 blogs: my own, and 2 for clients
3) 1 phone with 3 unheard voicemails: should I mention that I also use the phone to check my 4 email accounts and manage my 3 blogs?
4) Two computers: My desktop and my laptop. My laptop is a permanent fixture in the passenger seat of my car

Is it too much? Probably, but which one of the above can I get rid of? It seems like the more connected we become, the less CONNECTED we become.

Just food for thought while my gmail is down…
