Google makes us stupid…or does it? Posted by J.Ticona. Last week my boyfriend Dan and I were walking our. Gifted puppy and something strange (or maybe not so strange) happened. Dan had a particularly hectic week managing his work from our home, which involves A LOT of phone calls, and was ready to “unplug” from the office and run around with our dog. He took his Blackberry out of his pocket and was about to hand it off to me, when he realized. He didn’t know how to turn it off. How then, do people take t...

Newer posts →. Posted by J.Ticona. Welcome to my The Off Button. This blog will include my thoughts on various tech-related topics, but also a few self-experiments that (I hope) will give me a better understanding of what it’s like to live in our connected, hyper-linked, social networked, just-in-time world without access to the things we’ve come to depend on. Restricting my e-mail and internet access. Taking trips without GPS. Only using landline phones. Not paying any bills online. Newer posts →.
