The Blackout

The past couple of days I haven't watched or read the news and I must write that it didn't really affect me much as far as being anxious but it did make me ignorant to what was going on in the world for the past couple of days. I am usually not really news hungry anyways although I do read or watch the news regularly, it's just not a 24/7 thing for me, so I suppose missing a couple of days didn't do me any harm.

    I find I don't miss being connected--I actually like the break. In fact, now I weekly take a day off and disconnect. It makes the news somehow more interesting and puts things into perspective. I need time to think!

    I agree with you Professor. If you indulge yourself into too much news and information your mind goes into overload and you automatically become numb about it. It's all in the song "Numb" by U2.

    To me anyhting can lead to an addiction and I think watching too much news can be addictive.
