Schmidt took a strong position in saying that he felt it important to maintain a healthy offline balance in life, and that everyone should
While he emphasized the importance of disconnecting an hour a day to live life outside of the online world, he did praise the students for being "the first fully connected generation the world has ever known. A blessing, not a curse. To connect the world is to free the world."

He is a moron for telling people that they need to connect with the people that are in their physical presence vs. with people that are in cyberspace?? If you can not stay offline for 1 hour a day than you have a serious problem or are very lonely and have no one in your physical presence. People are more dependant on their devices than the people around them it will get as bad as texting "Can you pass the salt please"

Don't look at our advertisements for an hour a day.
I assume Google will give Schmidt a 1/24 pay cut to account for his philosophy.
