We can seek to assert our autonomy by deliberately disconnecting from the web every once in a while (a "Sabbath" of the mind, if nothing else). Whenever I go out with my wife, for example, I make it a point to leave my cellphone at home or leave it turned off for as long as possible. Meanwhile, I enjoy my wife's company and we take pleasure in whatever we are doing at the moment: hiking, dining or just sightseeing.

Oh yes I very much agree with that statement, indeed there is nobody pushing our arms behind our backs demanding we stay online .. it's entirely of our own volition. I think the key is use the technology and don't allow it to use you, we need to become wise to it's inherent duality.
