I make it a point to control my technology, rather than the reverse. Every single week I go without technology for ~25-26 hours. Frequently, as part of my religion, I have 2-3 day periods in the year (probably ~5 of those). I make it a point to take a one week vacation in places where even if I wanted to, I couldn't internet (they still exist!).

Every ~5 years or so, we ditch the universe for a month, and live, rather happily without computers, phones, and email. The reality is that a computer is no more or less of a tool to me than a hammer or a basin wrench. It just happens to be the tool with which I make my living.
