Are you a 'techie' (formerly known as a geek)??

As I was watching the Today show today they were talking about a class (somewhere) that is being given to adults to get them weaned 'off' the internet. You know, to stop texting during a dinner out with the spouse, to stop texting while driving (if any of you do this please, for the love of God, stop) and checking your Crackberry (I have one but am not obsessive about it-I'm obsessive about other things, just not that) at all hours of the day and/or night.
The woman profiled in the piece is a blogger and texts and updates her blog while walking her dog AND while at home where she and her husband (no kids) have 4 computers in different areas of their home so they can stop and 'check in' wherever they are. (No, it did not look like a big house/apt.) In fact, DURING the class they were filming her in she was updating her twitter from her Blackberry...remember, this is a class to wean people OFF the net. She has pledged to go all 'non tech' every Wednesday but does plan to blog about that! HA.
I found this story hilarious.
So, are you a techie?? I would have to say I am but I can also separate from it (uh, except my cell phone I mean, let's be real here). I do not usually check email once I get home at night but I do check my Crackberry once and clear messages before I go to bed. I love my car's Nav system but I can live without it if I have to and I love my ATM card (I mean people please...who even goes into the bank anymore??) and my Ipod...but, I also like going on vacation with my husband and being 'away' from all of it for awhile. (Except the cable TV because, really, I must know what's going on!) And, yes, I do call in at least 1-2x while away but...well, no excuse I guess except I own the place and I live for K to say to me "The place burnt down, don't hurry home" (which she says EVERY time I go away, BTW...HAHA)
Can *you* take a break from all the technology or do you feel tied to it?
And, if you do love your techno-toys and are finding it hard to get to class-set your Nav system with directions to the Center, download our latest music from Itunes Imix and set up your Blackberry calendar to ping when you need to be IN class-and you will be all techno'd out and get your workouts in too...so your techno-compulsion won't be all bad!
