I'm tempted to unplug when I retire in a bit more than a decade. After working in tech for 20+ years, the idea is appealing. I doubt it will be very easy to function in an ever-connected society however.
- nine_k 8y agoWhat is tempting for you in that idea, if you don't mind?
- greedo 8y agoNot being on call, not being reachable 24/7 by family, friends, work. The expectations of persistent connectivity has grown tiresome.
- convivialdingo 8y agoI used to work with a very hands-on CEO who called me multiple times a day. I learned to take vacations in places without cell coverage. Honestly some of my favorite vacations over the past few years. I love my CEO, but when I take a week off I really want to be away from it all. It’s not a vacation if I’m being called to do a support call or some such.
