I believe that travelers and expats have it even worse than a lot of other people because you constantly want to be connected with friends and family who are miles away, find the best places to see and write about etc. etc….

I love the idea of writing down what we did before the Internet became such a huge part of our lives. I want to start with… playing board games.

My attorney will be contacting you in touch about this issue. I don’t want to take these further, but I feel propelled.

That should be, “We editors…”

I don’t feel myself fully addicted to Internet. Still, sometimes I feel terribly lost without it. People like me take their virtual lives equally seriously as the ‘real” lives. And in my case, the gap between the virtual and the real worlds is much narrow. But yes, in my part I keep my list of contacts very limited, and try to spend quality time with them, via mails or social networks. Since most of my social network contacts are real life friends who moved out to different parts of the world, meeting up in real time means another school reunion.

However, as you said, I do feel (at intervals) that I should stop the internet and turn on the television, or try to finish reading the book I started reading a few months ago. So if you keep getting such warning by yourself, I believe, there is no reason to panic as long as I take such warnings seriously.
