Are you a Candidate for Disconnect Anxiety?
I am…
This is a great little article on disconnect anxiety courtesy of AlterSage copywriter Lulie who is trying to tell me something…
If you can tick yes to at least 8 of these you might be a candidate too:
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “My cell phone goes everywhere I go?”
- Use your wireless device “frequently” at home instead of your home phone?
- Strongly or somewhat agree with the statement “When I leave home without my cell phone, I feel cut off”?
- Spend four hours or more using the Internet—work or personal—per day on average?
- Used IM (instant messenger) in the last week?
- Have a Facebook profile that you visit at least once a day?
- Strongly agree with the statement “The world is not as safe as it used to be”?
- Used a laptop in your living room or bedroom in the last week?
- Text-messaged on a regular cell or sent email using a BlackBerry, Treo or similar in the evenings or the weekend in the last week?
…but that also makes at least 95% of everyone that I know candidates too
