Is technology overtaking your life?

It seems that the more technology gets complicated, the more the need to simplify our lives. At least that is the way I see it. I find that I want to invest in technological gadgets and products that make my life simpler, and not necessarily in products that promise to to 10,000 new and innovative things for me. Am I making sense? Like when I go for vacation, I don't want to be connected to work and my daily life, so having a cell phone that provides Internet connection and keeps me in touch with the real world is not my cup of tea anymore. Technology is great, but it has to have it's own place in my life and not overtake it. I refuse to live my life on its terms and revel in being unconnected.
