Kudos to the experts worrying about the abnormal obsession of spending countless hours surfing the net and Twitter alone in isolation. It is not good to be too isolated from others and from reality, especially in an interactive word of electronic fantasy.
Excessive indulgence in this sort of pleasure will turn anyone into a psychological wreck, and a flaccid klutz.
Now a maverizer is one that necessarily spends much, probably most of her time in isolation from others, but this isolation is interactive with God, reality, the imagination and the self. It likely will involve the use of electronic media, but as a means to self-development, not an controlling, captivating end in itself.
The isolated maverizer is active, seeking, thinking, stretching and controlling the adventure, not a blank, biological tabula rasa passively recording whatever is thrown at him.
One can be alone, isolated and busy in Cyberspace, without becoming a pathetic addict enthralled by this new addiction. But it still pays for all to be careful.
