Good for you. Except for very minimal internet communications and phone calls I am done using tech. I refuse to feed the beast that is hellbent on enslaving us with technology. No Credit/Bank Cards, no store rewards cards, no apps, no Kiosks, no automated payments, Etc.

I’m not lazy and do not mind the extra time and effort to abstain from facilitating my own enslavement. They are enslaving us with our own laziness and spoiled want for “convenience”.

I will do emails, because that is 20th century tech. I had an interesting thing happen at my last job though. I was the finance officer for a private college. One day I was talking to someone in admissions who said he had emailed me about an issue. I said I didn’t have an email. In fact, I didn’t a computer in my office. He didn’t understand, because everyone received one with the new computer system. Well, I asked my receptionist if she could find one for me. Well, she did and found 186 unanswered emails. I told her to delete everything, and each morning print me out a copy of whatever was new. I would then call or had write a reply at the bottom of what she had printed out for her to send.
