I was an early adopter of mobile web enabled devices (pre iPhone) and I remember my friends making fun of me for being so obsessed with the internet, to the point where I felt embarrassed and avoided (with great difficulty) using my web enabled mobile devices in certain company. Fast forward to the present, and those same people who once ridiculed my obsession are themselves now obsessed with their own web enabled mobile devices... My girlfriend is a staunch anti-internet type, and she often chastises me for not paying attention to her while I'm at my desk, thus I agree with the intent of the article, even if I don't always practice what it 'preaches.'
