whoa, nothing like a good laugh to begin the day! [wiping tears of laughter] Seriously. [struggling] No, seriously, if you really think it'll make u rich u can always try and live tech-free for a while but personally I don't recommend it.
Back in the day TV was free, radio was free and your "communications" bill was for a one land line. Hardware consisted of a phone or two so durable they lasted decades.
Now there is the data, phone and cable bills plus cellular. Phones need to be upgraded every couple of years same with computers and software. All of this adds up do hundreds of dollars each month.
Salaries haven't kept up with the expenses of the latest technology.

Yet somehow we still communicated just fine.
(Oh, also add in a newspaper subscription for most households.)
Soon, everybody will want/need a holographic home video system, every phone convo will include 2-way video (I know that's available now but it's on-demand)
Meanwhile, as we get more and more plugged in, the Big Brother fedguv is tracking me everywhere I go and monitoring everything I do.
You’re right, but didn’t go far enough. Since we are all saddled with these enormous monthly technology expenses, we need a new middle class entitlement to pay for them. Who will buy my vote next year with the Free Middle Class Internet and Cellular Service Act? Going once, going twice...
It isn't tech that's making you poorer--it's your spending decisions.
