Did you ever feel that the Internet is changing you? Like rewiring your brains from the inside of you? Well, you're not alone. Chances are most of the population of this planet is undergoing this process today. I personally found it very rewarding to step back, relax and take it slowly. I can still remember the times without the Internet and how it felt to be "disconnected". I felt good.

I want you to read this:

This is something I've noticed happening with me and my life at some point and I think it is a really fascinating topic to think and talk about.

Exactly!

I'm being kinda ironic here and if you read the article you'll see why ;)
