Re: Social Hangover

On his blog Robert Birming is  ruminating about the need of being reachable 24/7.

There's a lot of talk about the importance of online privacy, but when it comes to wanting some privacy in the physical world, it's a different story. We're expected to be "online" by default, 24/7. If we go "offline," it's treated as a malfunction — a 404 page.

I totally agree with him. If you're not available all the time, you don't seem to be a good partner, worker, father and so on...
I think we all need to unplug from time to time to recharge.
