Ms. Samuel gets Ditched for her narrow view behind why people choose to unplug. She appears to believe that those who ween themselves from the grid do so because they feel their interactions with people on the web are not necessarily genuine or meaningful. I'm sure that may be a reason for a very small percentage. However, the biggest reason that people want to or should take a step back from their online addictions is because they are not engaging in any human interaction at all, either physical or on the internet. Perhaps Ms. Samuel's argument would be better suited for those choosing to cancel their Facebook or MySpace accounts, not those just looking to take a step back from the internet in general.
