I enjoy being active, but I look forward to the day when I can retire to the Internet.

What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.

I think of myself as naturally idle. The trouble is, the 'nothing' that I do every day is not really nothing. I potter. I muck about with emails, I make coffee, I fiddle with my computer to make sure that the book I haven't started writing is perfectly synced across all platforms and devices.

To explore technology for me is something that I have to do. Otherwise, I feel completely left in the back... abandoned.

I wouldn't say you have an online life and a real life. I think technology is just mapping and organizing what already exists.

If you're not looking toward the future or trying to improve the current technology, you'll be left behind.

I am in a constant stage of development.

Idleness is only a coarse name for my infinite capacity for living in the present.

I won't deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward.
