Though she doesn't quite, Aleks Krotoski comes close to recommending a form of digital Sabbatarianism here. We all need to switch off our machines periodically, take a complete break, enjoy the sunshine, that sort of thing. How about this, instead? Let everyone do what they want when they want - switch off, stay tuned, alternate. I'm happy for Krotoski to have a day a week disconnected if she wants; and there are times when I'm happy to be disconnected myself. However, if you're talking whole days of it, then the truth is that it more often happens to me that I can't blog when I want to than it happens that I'm connected to the internet when I don't want to be. Because when I don't want to be, I don't be - just like that.
So, in the same way that I don't go advising people not to use their phones or their fridges or their televisions once a week, or not to talk (not any how) to other humans or not to read anything once a week, I'm content to remain unadvised regarding how often or how much I should be online, texting, or otherwise connected.
