This is a vacation?

The Washington Post (July 4, 2010) recently ran an article on how we take our technology on vacation with us.  Many hotels and resorts provide video game consoles along with television and Internet connections in every room.  Some hotels have switched to wireless connections because so many guests needed more than one connection per room.  Americans are now posting their vacation activities on social networking sites and cannot conceive of not constantly using their phones.  My memories of going to the cottage with the family are as outdated as my old Commodore 64 computer.
