Zero Communication!!!

It is interesting to see the way that society responds when a member blocks themselves from all communication.  A family member might panic when their text or third call are not answered within a day.  A business client may be disgruntled if an email is not replied to in a reasonable amount of time.  A buddy may become alarmed if their best friend not checked their facebook every evening.  I was recently very sick, and I had the experience of blocking out the ability to communicate with anyone for a short period of time.  It is strange to think that it was not too many years ago, one was not expected to even carry a beeper with them, let alone a Smartphone or ipad.  I feel that we have slowly adapted to a society that stays in constant communication, and this is not necessarily a positive or negative tendency.  Regardless whether you are for or against this trend, we are going to continuously move in this direction.
