Too Plugged In?

Here are a few ways you know you’re too in touch with the world.

1. You’re reading this with your camera, smart phone, iPod, TV, kindle and iPad all within arm’s reach.
2. When people housesit for you, they find your houseplants dead, but there are detailed instructions on how to update your blog with pre-written posts.
3. You tweet more than Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian combined.
4. You live in constant fear that your farm/town/café/frontier will be unexpectedly hit by turmoil and chaos if you are not supervising it constantly.
5. You just stopped reading this list, because that could totally happen.
6. You sit down to watch the nightly news only to find you’ve already heard all the news.
7. You can’t knit because your thumbs are too sore from texting.
8. Dinner invites are suddenly coming more infrequently because everyone knows that’s your blogging time.
9. Your vlog for today is a thirty-minute stream of you writing your blog.
10. You’ve been in your pajamas for three days because showering would take away from precious tweeting, blogging, facebooking, reality TV viewing time.
