I so want to do what journalist Tom Hodgkinson did. He just told everyone he’s done with email. End of story (more or less). No spam, no checking email at night and in the early morning. No anticipation of emails. No file size attachment issues. No longing for past contact with people electronically. Just the phone, the mail, and the sweet sound of silence.
P.S. I’m not actually going to do this. Unfortunately, that sound of silence would also be the sign of starvation.
