Email apnea (which can happen when working at a computer or mobile device, doing email, SMS or any range of activities) can also occur in front of a television set. A combination of poor posture (which compromises breathing) and anticipation, accompanied by an inhale, but often without a complete exhale, is the culprit. I'm not sure there is an "Emily Post" of the Network Age.... Interesting insight! Brian – YES!

I’m not sure there is an “Emily Post” of the Network Age…. Interesting insight!

I'm looking forward to this discussion as someone who has made a decision to stay only minimally connected. By that I mean I have yet to buy a cellphone (my reasons are many and varied for this, but they are also shrinking). I've found there is a real divide when you don't have a cellphone. People will not make plans or commitments. This was driven home on visits to friends in the Bay Area. "Let's meet for dinner Sat. night. OK! Call me. Uh, I don't have a cellphone. You don't have a cellphone! Why not?" So it was very difficult if not impossible to make plans. This is a good example of what used to be called the "digital divide." “It’s connect or bust”
