Interesting New York Times article about how many people who work in high technology arenas actually flee technology outside of work:
Surprisingly, perhaps, it is often those who occupy themselves most intensively with technology who have put the most thought into its role in defining who they are. ... "There’s something about working with technology that makes people want to become Quakers," Mr. Rettstatt said. ... Juliet B. Schor said such sentiments were not uncommon. "Some people understand that the potential of the technology isn’t necessarily how it actually plays out." And few people are better situated to understand this than those who spend their days surrounded by the flotsam and jetsam of the computer era. The more some people think about it, the less they want technology encumbering their lives.
