My virtual life is getting out of hand

My daughter just said to me: "Mum you don't need to be in any more chat rooms". "Sure I do," I replied, "I like to be linked in". "But it just isn't cool to be in so many," she asserts, "it's not cool". "I'm cool", "no, you're not. When did a child last tell you you were cool?" "I don't need a child to tell me I'm cool, I know I am". She's gone off in disgust and I'm joining yet another online network.

So far I'm in Ancestry.com, Facebook, Twitter, digg, Scribd, Flicker, LinkedIn, some technology group I've even forgotten the name of, eBay, blogger (of course), YouTube, Orkut, internet banking and being old school I also respond to emails and text messages on my phone.

It's harmless, right? I'm not obsessed by technology am I?
