Total Saturation

Saturation-

  • A condition in which a quantity no longer responds to some external influence
  • The condition of being full to or beyond satisfaction
  • The condition at which a component of a communication system has reached its maximum traffic-handling capacity.

I have achieved Total Technology SATURATION: 2 laptops, 3 cell phones, a house phone, twitter, twhirl, blogs, and separate simultaneous IM sessions with Russia, Costa Mesa and Cincinnati. This week of going in to the office early, coming home and working until 9pm or later each of the last 3 nights, WebEx sessions, conference calls, calls to customers, call from sales people, calls to support people; I’m done.


I long for a walk on a deserted beach, a hike in the mountains or a few round of golf with all the technology locked away for at least day. Would the world stop rotating? Would a Super Power collapse? Would someone die? I think not. I’m just not that important. So why do I do it to myself?

Great post Karen! Often I thrive off of being connected. I love to twitter and blog, and call, text, smoke signal whatever, but there are times when I cannot handle anymore. I thank God for our church because during those times worship is what helps me through! Love your blog by the way, very cool!

P Travis:
Being Connected to Him is the only time we are fulfilled so why do we try and replace it with other stuff?
Thanks
