Slow down, take time to make the moment last [telecom]

A lesson for some of us, maybe?

Slow down, take time to make the moment last Marcus Padley October 2, 2010

I am in Bali. A BlackBerry and iPhone-free zone for the Padley family. Not by decree but by choice. Our mobile phones have burbled a couple of times in the room safe but I'll be buggered if we're letting anyone chase us around out here.

If you've ever been surfing at Echo Beach at sunset, you'll appreciate that there are times when the leash on your ankle is enough. Time with the family and oneself is possibly the most valuable time of the year without someone else's agenda disrupting it.

But still some of my fellow guests seem glued to the outside world. An electronic leash on their ear. Glad I'm not married to you.

I was once impressed with the out of office email message of one of my previous editors. It informed emailers that "I am out of the office until January 12th. When I return, I will delete my whole inbox. If your message was important send it again when I'm back.''
