Our survey responses are coming in fast and furious for our Mobile Worker Report. After doing a check on the results, I got a good chuckle to some of the replies that people are sending in. We love the honesty!
Do you ever completely disconnect from technology, if so where, when and why?
RESPONSE: YES
- When my kid was born. I disconnected from tech for a week
- When I take a shower
- When I’m asleep
- yes when I am ill
- When my wife is watching
- church, 1 hour each week
- On Skyline Drive – no service available – and keep it that way!
- When canoeing in the wilderness with no access
- vacation on Maldives in 2003
- vacation; for inner peace
- In sauna, every weekend, for relaxation
- at home, after 10 pm, everyone needs rest
- Vietnam in the villages when I visit family
- When camping or fishing. It is nice to get back to basics.
- When no coverage
- when I go surfing, because I can
- Overseas trip, connectivity is too spendy
- only 1 to 2 days in a row when on vacation
RESPONSE: NO
- Never – IT Guy – Always connected!
- Never
- Prayer times out of respect
- Are you kidding?
- I get bored easily. Its easier to entertain myself with email or RSS
- Work work work
- I’m addicted although not 100%, maybe 90%
- I am always connected to my iPhone no matter what happens …
- Just can not disconnect from technology
- Never, that’s impossible
- Addicted to social media which also drives business forward
- I should, but working in IT and carrying a smart phone means it’s hard to do.
- Even on vacation I like to download my photographs and check on my emails
- I always have a smart phone or Laptop available
- Want to stay in touch and up to date.
- not really ever
