Is There Such a Thing as Tech Burnout?

I wonder if many of us are beginning to feel this way as we find ourselves fully wired 24 hours a day. It is a wonder that our dreams aren't wired and broadcast over the Internet when we are sleeping. I came across a couple interesting pieces on this subject today while scouring the news stories on Google News. Wonder how true you think any of this is? See what you think after you read these articles.

The article that started the debate was published in the N.Y. Times by Stephanie Rosenbloom.The other article is actually a commentary on the Rosenbloom piece.  A lot of this has come to the forefront with all the talk about Google Plus, the new social network, and the questions that has arisen from that debate is, "do we need another social network?"
