Seriously. You go on holiday from the internet for a couple of weeks, then come back and realise that you’ve missed out on hundreds, nay, thousands of updates on your Facebook timeline, Twitter feed, RSS reader and everything else – how much useful and vital information have you missed out on?!
So what do you do? Not go on holiday from the internet is what! Go on holiday from everything else, but still keep up-to-date with blogs and Facebook. You’re not an idiot.
