Communication itself is not an addiction but a choice. You can choose to be a hermit or of an interconnected 21st-century version of the Tower of Babel. Arguably, we become addicted by the gadgets which allow us to communicate 24 hours a day -- but then what do we mean by communication? The Irish writer George Bernard Shaw once remarked that "the problem with communication is the illusion that it has been achieved."
Fiddling with your blackberry or hammering away on your keyboard is no guarantee of communication....... which begs the question why I'm making this post....... perhaps I liked soliloquies!
