Addicted to Technology

Today’s guest article, written by long-time friend Peter Vajda,  takes a close, careful look at the hair trigger we’ve all developed – a hair trigger that responds instantly, unquestioningly to all forms of electronic communication.

I have to take this … hello?”

Same with email coming in, facebook notifications and all the rest. It’s become an instant, kneejerk reaction.
