    Computers should be a part of your life and add to it but should not be all of your life. I use them for work and without them I would be bringing in far less revenue than I do at present. (I need them)
    I stop work every couple of hours or so, and come on DP to decompress from built up work related stress. But there does come a time in the afternoon to the early evening, when I step away from my PC's and engage with clients, family or friends. I make an attempt to strike a balance between my computer life and my real life.

    when you actively and get your tootsy off the computer and seek out something such as a STORE, such as a Target or Walmart, there is the beginnings of a real live world., Starbucks or hell, even a grocery store is the start of a live living world. Go to a random shopping mall and start out or cap the shopping adventure at the food court to just people watch over a coffee at the beginning or end of a shopping jaunt. You'll see that not everyone is behind a computer. If you have a dog; likewise, take it out for a walk.

    Why? Just because someone spends a lot of time on computer (actually working) doesn't mean they're a complete unsocial fucktard. Even moreso when the relationship is actually more or less like a partnership.

    To OP: I also tend to spend 12-18+ hours a day each day on computer nowadays, but then might take a little shorter days and travel - would really recommend that. Personally I couldn't go completely scrapping computers and phones because of a "vacation", everything goes to shit if I leave things to be even for one evening anyways...
