My Technologic Crutch

Why are people so uncomfortable to sit, wait or travel without technology with them. Don't get me wrong I am so guilty of doing it too. I always have my phone/iPod there for those 5 minute breaks where I will possibly be alone and there is no way I would ever not want it. Why is this the case? What is it about society that makes us (me) feel that unless I am constantly communicating that my social life is not enough? I wish this had some kind of inspirational point where I could say that I'm giving up my technologic crutch, but I really don't think I am anywhere near strong enough at this point. If anyone can answer my questions please help me out!

Long term leave

Oh my goodness. I have been a very bad blogger haven't I? So it's been around a month since my last post and I feel downright awful. I can't even use the excuse of no internet cause I had plenty... I was working lots if that is a better excuse. Really I'm just sorry and won't let it happen again. Please scold me if it does! Anyway in that time I didn't do much, except for go to SPLENDOUR!! Now if you don't know what that is 'Splendour in the Grass' is an Australian music festival that is just three days of absolute musical genius! I had so much fun and there are stories to come from that.
Just thought I would give a quick update before getting into the real gritty stuff. Ha!
