Being Healthy in a Online World?

As our society increases our dependence on technology, in the work place and in society, people are ignoring their bodies more and more. This denial of the body, in our creation of the self in an online society, is dangerous. We are dually created. We are both body and mind. To dismiss one, because of our increased dependence on technology is simply unhealthy.

On facebook...

I have never really contemplated my rejection of facebook in such a thorough manner. The question has been raised as to whether or not I purposely reject facebook because I do not want to put on a performance or create myself via a social networking site. Of course, on some level, I do not feel the need to introduce myself or "reintroduce" myself to people via the web. On the other hand, I tend to be a more private and non-technical person. I'm also not sure there is much information about myself or about my status that I would feel the need to share with others on a day to day basis. I find that my relationships with people have always flourished best when I am face-to-face, and I believe my relationship with the world is nurtured when I am in the world. For this reason, I spend little time using communicative technology.
With all of that said...some of the games seem like they may be fun.
