So deeply true, if there were a thing that were truer than true, this would be it.

You know, I'm hopeless: constantly not noticing I've put my phone down somewhere, and resorting to Google's Find My Phone to give me an approximate geographical location for it. More than once, I've gone into work, spent a happy day doing my thing, and only realising when I go to find it at the end of the day that I didn't actually remember to bring it.

I'd say I'm generally fairly connected, but I refuse to be dominated, especially by a Thing, rather than a Person. Maybe that's it: I've managed to keep from being sucked in by Pavlov's Ping, somehow. Perhaps I just have no friends... :D

Not only was this essay enlightening, it made me laugh! The Star Wars reference, the dog story, the birthday wishing—guess what FB told me yesterday and what I felt obligated to do? 😳 I love how your essays always seem written TO me.
