Oh my. That is bad. ... The old rotary dial phones are seeming appealing...simpler times.

How horrible, Little Linda!

Or the old Rolex. Or the old address book. I have a large address book where I keep passwords. The name of the website, forum, whatever is put in alphabetically then I note the username, e-mail addy, and password. Been doing this since the beginning of being on the internet, the mid-90s, writing with pen/pencil in a notebook of some kind. Finally got the address book about twelve years ago. It's big, but small enough to fit into my purse if needed to take with me. I always figured if a computer can be hacked or crashes, there goes the info.

I’m a heartbeat from returning to paper records too using a small book with alphabet tabs. There was a time when my phone was more secure than my house, which I rarely locked. But with big tech spying on everyone, my house is now more secure than my phone, so a return to paper is a very good idea.

I am currently the sole museum piece at work that still hand writes and draws figures for field reports. Also the only one that gets my expense checks in an envelopešŸ¤ 

Iā€™ve never had an FB account I used (made a fake name one early), never had a twit or myspace account, etc... one real email for not work and then a work one, several fake name ones back in the day...(used to frequent the local NirvanaNet node, underground BBS system).
