Real-time living or Virtual Addiction: life is not digital experience

Living our lives in virtual environments as in gaming, porn, surfing or virtual worlds like face book or twitter leaves many questions. How can we live a virtual-life when we aren’t fully living our real-time life?  Every time we answer our cell phone, web surf, or look at text or email on our smart phone we in essence shifting time and space and making the public and personal statement that we are wanting to be somewhere other than where we actually are. We in essence leave the here and now. It seems as though we are running away from being where we actually are at the moment. We are trying to numb ourselves, to deal with boredom, or our disconnection from ourselves and our lives. So we remain mindlessly connected and distracted, and at the same time disconnected from ourselves in an endless fashion. We go to bed using our technology (sleeping next to our smart phones) and begin our day with it as well.  We live our lives unconsciously, wired and wireless, and then we medicate ourselves with the same technology when we feel bad.
