I am sure I will never use facebook in my life because I don’t think it is useful and I hate to spent time on reading what other people think or do.

To take a break from social networks is definitely a good idea, to stop with it is in y opinion better.

I do this in the winter for at least a month + I’ll join in then 🙂 I’ve done it for the last few years around Feb/March 🙂

Taking a few hours off today and more tomorrow with a goal of total disconnect for next week. Already worried I might miss something, sheesh.

When I leave the office I’m a distant memory until the next morning. I never take work home and it’d be pointless asking me to. When I’m at home with my family I’m not on the web, or on Twitter or whatever. We eat meals around the table together every evening, we discuss our days and share stuff. Technology only rules your life if you let it – learn some discipline and get your priorities straight.

A suggestion for those who might actually curl up and die if they go totally cold turkey is the Freedom app (http://macfreedom.com/) for Mac. It’s like a strict Aunty that slaps your wrist if you try to go online when you promised yourself you wouldn’t. It’s been invaluable to me.
