    is it weird for my iPad to look strange after not touching a single piece of high tech machinery for ten days? I was literally staring at the home screen and moving the pages left and right for a few minutes before I did anything else. Safari still looks weird even after thirty minutes, and the screen feels a lot smoother and magical. Do I need help?

    Yes you need help for being able to not touch technology for10 days, I would've gone insane.

    Ah, the infamous withdrawal symptoms. Don't worry, it will pass in time.

    Yeah I think you do. Follow these instructions: Play games on the device for 10 hours straight, sleep, repeat 3 times. Then it should be back to normal. Hope this helped :)

    (Time does effect our perceptions of technology, I've found that if I go for a few weeks without technology I actually have almost no desire to go back to using it. But that usually fades over time)

    Nah, when you are somewhere, where it is not necessary and have plenty of other things to do, then this is pretty normal.
