Vacation, Dobelli and disconnection
Being back from a nice vacation, I could only remember the landscapes, the visited places and the impression of beauty those left in my mind (I also read the very inspiring Off to the Side: A Memoir of Jim Harrison (2002), that I warmly recommend). And then you come back to work, Internet, wifi, civilization.

What is striking is the loss of time, the (really) poor quality on what we read online, what is blogged (and you can consider this as being part of that eRubbish) and what we really do with that information we gather the whole day long.
