Hi Simeon
I agree with you! I was just in a
joking-short-post mood
However, sorry if you felt stung, it was really not mt intention.
I know I didn't develop my disagreement, but I actually don't just disagree... So here's a little more.
I'm not sure I'd say there are stages between people, but for sure, everyone is different and has different liking! I respect tech-addicts' choices and sincerely (!!! did I say) wished a Buen Camino to them, on the way they like best. Even if I'd rather have a
live chat with them
Then, well, in fact, I actually lied... I do understand. (The joke didn't worked as well thought) I worked with youngsters, I totally get Internet is at the top of their world. (It's actually close to mine too when off-Camino!) I also get that deprivation is hard... isn't "rehab" first stages always that way? (My fix is sugar... I
get it
) And I get Internet is an awesome tool to deal with many daily matters. (First to use it too)
Finally, writing this post, I actually realize I don't really agree nor disagree. I look at things, some I prefer and others not, but I don't agree or not with them: they
are, and that's it. I enjoy the things I prefer and pass the things I don't (or I hang around and discuss points of view
)
On the matter, I still
personally believe that Internet is very useful but not essential, that the Camino offers much preferable things to think/do than Wifi, and that it's quite sad not to be able to unplug for a little while. I prefer to get off Internet on my Camino, but I understand and respect people who prefer differently.
Best Camino to all, with or without Internet!
