It's no secret that sometimes Web celebritards annoy me, but if Scoble needs three phones, you know, it's time to ask yourself what you're doing. I realize it may in part be because of his job, but even then, it's a bit much.
I'm not sure I entirely understand why people, especially in tech circles, are so hell bent on being connected at all times. I travel with my laptop in case I have some kind of crisis with my Web sites, but I don't turn it on much. Last trip I fired it up the night before we left and at the airport, and that's it. I liked not being online.
Yes, I have an iPhone, but I don't endlessly fiddle with it unless I need to kills some time. On vacation, I found myself answering a couple of e-mail messages (all personal, not business) in the mornings, but that was about it. It's just not that critical to be connected all of the time.
I'm about as big of a nerd as anyone, but sometimes I wonder if all that technology enhances our lives, or obscures the parts that matter most.
