You can’t really enjoy the reality of a sunset, mountain view or people if you’re stuck into them. Yeah I have my netbook and camera, but more often than not they take up very little of my time. About the only Social Media I’m even thinking of is Twitter, the rest – forget it.

Agree. I try not to get too trapped using all the gadgets and even just stuff, like twitter, facebook and all the others. It just takes up so much time I would rather be using for something else.

Stop and smell the roses, right? 🙂

I agree you have to have the phone, computer, etc. I carry them while traveling also but I limit the use. I don’t carry them with me everywhere I go. I use them in the evening and I don’t rely on them to make make my plans everyday. It is the every day traveler I see getting so engrossed in their gadgets they don’t actually seem to be enjoying and taking advantage of their surroundings. For the road warrior nomad it is a different case.
