TechCrunch: NoSo and the Backlash Against Our “Always On” Culture…

I knew something like NoSo was coming. Maybe not this implementation, but certainly the idea that folks would want to unplug. What’ll be interesting is to see how many people attend. Of course, with everyone unplugged, there’d be no way to …

Isn’t it more constructive just to read a book? (A book not about social networking, I mean…)

What a stupid idea, people like this creep me out. Good thing they don’t talk, I don’t think anyone would want to listen.

Similar idea:

Go to sleep.

Lock your front door.

Better idea:

Stop wasting time on stupid, pretentious and idiotic idas such as this.

I wonder if it will be like those “quiet”carriages on inter city trains where anyone daring to answer their phone is glared out of their seat?

I really wanted to like this, but it is simply far too stupid. In fact, it is so stupid that it makes me want to break something.

Hey cool. I had this idea earlier and bought the url http://www.antiweb2.com – I never did anything with it because it ultimately seemed like a waste of money and time. Cool.

Using the very connectivity they shun to enable unconnected gatherings?

Oh the art-student irony!

I guess it might be fun for people who have nothing better to do than stand around in public not talking to each other. Prizes for the person who gets the most knowing glances from participants!

@5 Uncov is great, it brings some common sense to these posts….obviously Michael doesn’t just how asinine most of the things he highlights are. Of course I still read, b/c even though I enjoy Uncov and Valleywag, there have been a few decent profiles on this site.

#7, too funny! If people need an anti social network to relax then society is going down the drain. I can understand somewhat, I have 3 jobs (day job, new web project, teach dance) and sometimes I forget to relax. I guess it is all about balance.

It encourages safe sex and that’s good. Make a date, show up, don’t acknowledge your partner’s existence, go home. It’s also practice for marriage!
