As a tech person who works in the tech field, there are two reasons I own an iPhone:

Just a heads up that an Apple announcement is likely sometime in September, so today may not be the best time to pick up last year’s iPhone.

I would probably get fired for raising a stink over it. Like you, I would delete any social media account before giving an employer access to it.

Color bubbles?

counterpoint:

No.

Welcome to the club, I deleted my account 2 years ago and haven’t looked back!

Does it work where you have no data like when in grocery stores (even with Verizon)? No? SMS does. I’ll use that. PS: SMS doesn’t require FB. I deleted my account a few weeks ago and have loved it. Don’t care to go back.

Meh, I like my battery life more than any of these features.

You don’t have to be near the place at that exact moment. Useful as a planning tool.

For everyone, you need to make good choices when posting online. If it is something you can’t say at work, you might want to think about throwing it online under your name. Once had to let a guy go. Worked a nuke site. Posted some very Circle A kinda anti-nuke stuff.

Or just go radio silent and have nothing but LinkedIn.

“While I’m gone, I’ll be reachable by email but not phone.”

You aren’t. Most of my friends with kids don’t necessarily ban pictures of their kids from FB, but they are very selective about which ones go up there and ask friends and family to ask before posting. I think it’s becoming more common as people really do start to understand their kid will have to live with these…

You are not. I know a lot of people with newborns who won’t post pictures of their kids. It’s to give them control over their image when they grow older.

So Google Listen is back. Next step: Google Reader.

Because people don’t have the will power or self restraint to save up a lot of money, so they use the, “I don’t have any monies” excuse to justify it.

I heard a great line on Youtube (of all places) regarding watching other people’s apparently great lives: “You shouldn’t compare your insides to someone else’s outsides.”

In my city it is a mix. There’s those that have figured out how to do it AND turn a profit, a large component of which is a fuel efficient car. Then there are those just starting and it’s a matter of time to find whether or not they are sticking with it.

I find, in a job I hate, I would MUCH RATHER it be stressful, because then the time flies by. If its boring, time seems to crawl and only feeds how much I hate the job.
