I love it lol, I'm disconnected and off the grid in so many ways...I do still have TV, but I do not have a facebook account but used to... It may prevent me from getting a job at facebook but that only matters if you're not planning on creating the next big something yourself.

Although don't you think that by reading HN you could end up being part of a "group think" mentality since most of all of us here are involved in IT?
