I plan to remember this year's vacation season with just two words: Never again. Never again will I take all my technology along.
When I first visited my inlaws' cabin in Ontario's north woods 35 years ago, there was no such thing as the Internet. The nearest telephone was one mile away, and we were beyond the reach of television. Our media diet consisted of a batterypowered radio. I know I risk sounding like an aging crank (怪人), but the life then was simple.
Now we're burdened with modern civilization. The cabin is just close enough to civilization to get a strong cellphone signal. Instead of browsing dogeared summerhouse mystery novels, this year we browsed the Internet. Instead of long evenings of poker, we checked our Twitter and updated our Facebook pages.
For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: an old laptop and a slow dialingup connection. But this year, the combination of a new iPad and that neat WiFi turned out to be hard to resist. The iPad beckoned (吸引) us silently from the picnic table: What harm could it be to give the email a quick check? But once that touchscreen lights up, who can say no to it?
Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing. I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips; I love having the world's newspapers on my electronic doorstep. I love being able to pay bills and make airplane reservations online.
And that's the point: It's important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simple beauties. That's not the Internet's fault. It's ours.
The first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem. My problem isn't the Internet; it's learning how to limit the time I spend on it.
