My local library now offers free internet access. I used to go there because it was a naturally distraction free place to write. I could use my laptop without twitching to click “check mail”, because it couldn’t check mail. Now I have to exercise steely resolve not to Google when I know I should be writing.
I’m sure there will be times when I find the connection useful, but I’m noticing that more and more of us are getting into the habit of constantly checking emails, blog stats, myspace messages etc and as the wireless age kicks in, there are fewer and fewer places where the temptation to Twitter isn’t there.
