I think one thing people are missing the point on is that it's quite addictive to have live up to date news. Twitter is constantly debating the latest talking point, you can get instant notifications. But it's actually quite exhausting after a while, you're no better off knowing something minutes after it happened when all the analysis is very shallow because nobody's had time to look at the bigger picture around an event.

I've been trying to digital detox a bit and I've found it's quite enjoyable switching off from a lot of that and buying a newspaper on a Saturday. I usually either pick The Observer (weekend version of The Guardian) or The Times.
