In reply to Isolation in the internet age., posted by Dinah on February 6, 2005, at 18:22:32

My mum is the original luddite. She's also a master at keeping herself isolated from the world at large. She has no answering machine, no computer (goodness, no), no video or DVD, maybe 4 CDs. No newspaper. No television news broadcasts, only a nature program or a movie. She listens to the radio. She reads books. She goes to church. She writes letters and collects postage stamps.
My point being that it's just as easy to keep yourself isolated without the internet. Of course, she is also sedentary, which worries me endlessly. Somehow it bothers me not a whit that she keeps to herself - I just want her physical health to not be the victim of her isolation.
