On today's Your Call we’ll talk about digital overload. Some people are getting so many emails a day that they sign up for camps where they have to leave their devices behind for days. Where do we draw the line between the convenient benefits of hyper-connectivity and it's counterproductive side effects? Join us at 10am Pacific or post a comment here. As our presence becomes more and more defined by being online, how do we make it socially acceptable for people to unplug? It’s Your Call, with Holly Kernan, and You.
