No. It's something people do as they get old, so when you look at your own peer group it looks like an increasing trend, because your friends are getting older.

Without any hard data to back the statement, I can say that I feel it's a trend. But it might just be a trend within our always connected tech subculture. It should also be a sign to people to learn how to discipline themselves better to avoid burnout or loss of appreciation for taking it slow. I nearly hit that point 3 years ago and instead of going cold turkey on the web, I just slowed it down.

After about 3 months, I realised I didn't need to ALWAYS be on twitter to be updated about the latest piece of tech news. I didn't need to ALWAYS be on my RSS feeds for every possible update in my other fields of interest.

As a result I have occasionally missed out on updates of new programming language features, and some security updates. But none of it has ever affected me in a way that made me wish I was on to things sooner. (except for effing shellshock. I just backed up, wiped, and switched off both my servers till it became safe)
