Just got back from three days on a beach near Alibag where I had patchy phone coverage and terrible internet connectivity. I realized during these three days that our addiction to mobile phones and the internet, just like our addiction to television, is not difficult to break.
I wonder if I am brave enough to announce that I can live without mobile phones for some time. It might even give a few snoops some moments where they wonder how a person can drop off the face of the earth for a few days and then appear again. If a large number of us switch off our mobile phones and internet for a few days every month, perhaps Google's ability to track not just our whereabouts, but also what we are doing might become less than omnipotent.
