We let the technology companies fool us into believing that only the very latest computer/phone/gadget will meet our needs, satisfy our desires, fill that ‘hole’ in our lives.
Technology is a tool and it should be used as such. It is not a replacement for actual human interaction or for stepping outside and engaging with life.

Today is a special day. It’s exactly one year since the official launch of ‘the spartan penguin’.
Over the coming weeks and months I’ll be trying different things: posting less frequently, posting more frequently, writing articles for Ezine, posting more/less mini-posts on G+, engaging with Twitter, not engaging with Twitter. All to see what happens.
