You can be forgotten very quickly. So I am aware that I need to stay current, keep connecting, and keep bringing things to the table... Otherwise, you can just disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn't looking down at a device in their hands? We've become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us.
If you wish to forget anything on the spot, make a note that this thing is to be remembered.
I'm terribly forgetful. I've lost laptops, cell-phones.
I don't want to be forgotten or not have helped as many people as I can before I pass.
I find it refreshing to unplug from it for a while. You kind of forget how deeply you get embedded in it.
In barely one generation, we've moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them - often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.
We have cellphones and smartphones and iDevices and laptops and the ability to be perpetually connected. We never have to miss anything, significant or insignificant.
The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug.
I am determined to hold on as long as possible, but if I should disappear, I should not have had the time to familiarize my successors with the necessary information.
I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.
