Not that long ago, but what a time. :) I remember when Nintendo was the thing. Sitting for hours playing Mario, or some other such game, and when the game froze, you had to eject the cartridge and blow on it. Those were the days. Then again, there were many consoles before Nintendo (Commodore 64, etc), so it's not really "old school" per-say. :P As awesome as technology is, and as cool as it is to live in a technological age, where connectivity and synchronicity are common-place and the world is (proverbially) shrinking right before our very eyes, I do believe that it is important to know where to draw the line. I mean, it's great to be able to view the same email on your desktop, laptop and mobile phone, but what happens when you want to shut off for a while and get away from your email? It's different for everyone. I do believe in drawing some kind of line though, between being completely dependant on your technology and living a technologically balanced existance. (says he, commenting on a _blog_ on the _internet_ from a _laptop_ via a link from _twitter_... go figure. :P) Yeah man, back in the 90′s. Not that long ago, but what a time. :)
