Imagine you were on/in the most peaceful, powerful, fun, partying place that you can think of on earth. You're having the time of your life.

NOW.....you have no phone, laptop, pad, or any such device to share instantaneously with anyone who will listen.

Does this cause anxiety?

The answer for me would be a resounding "No". I would relish the enjoyment of the place where I'm at...anything else can wait. :wink:

Nope. Sometimes I go out and just leave my phone in the house, so I can get peace and quiet and enjoy myself. Then you get back in check your phone and all the missed calls and text messages and were glad you never took it. It's all psychological anyway, as we never needed them before?

Yes. I would be anxiety riddled! I wish I were more enlightened as everyone else but I could not enjoy myself if information, or access to speak with others were taken away.
Hey,I'm the 1st to admit that I'm a work in progress ohwell

No. At least if it was peaceful or fun. Just give me some great conversation and I am set.

I could do without the partying personally.

My electronics are for my convienance not to make me a electronic slave.

Yea I enjoy my Mingle pals but I am going to enjoy the real world first.

One time,one of my phones(i use two,different service providers) fell between bed and wall,and slid under the bed! I left it there for a week!!
These days,the electricity in my area is off every other day-this week,after battery died out on the phone i use most,i let it sit(twice)-since i have to go to town to charge it when elec in my area is off!!

So,yeah,i'd go gadgetless even for two days!!
