Tethered

I'm not addicted to technology any more than a junkie is addicted to needles. I'm addicted to the tiny high that comes from a text, e-mail, IM, or tiny red Facebook notification.

We are addicted to companionship, to the idea that someone is thinking about us. Every faint vibration is a dose of medication, every alert a fix.

Technology has simply become the means by which we get what we need.
