Aloha Friday: Internet/Social Media Breaks?

Today is the last in a long line of Jewish holidays. While I’m not Orthodox, I do stay offline during these holidays just like I do for Shabbat every Saturday. Of course, this year, the holidays fell on Thursdays and Fridays leaving me offline for 3 days straight for 3 out of the past 4 weeks. By the time it was over, I was itching to get back online.

Still, I actually like being offline every now and then. It’s nice to forget about whether this person has a new blog post, whether that person has tweeted something new or whether there’s a new and interesting e-mail in my inbox. Instead, I focus on whether my sons have a new game to play, whether my wife has something new to talk about and what new and interesting things we can do as a family.

My Aloha Friday question for today is: Do you take regular Internet/Social Media breaks?
