I, too, am at the tail end of my career. Maybe 3 years left, if that. I still like searching for restaurants and directions, but I think my tech use will diminish considerably after retirement.

Directions via Waze will be the #1 thing I miss. I was never good at reading maps, I'm going to have to start learning to do that again.

That is, if they still publish maps? LOL!!!

Of my group of friends, I'm the only one that's getting rid of their smartphone, computers, etc.. Everyone else thinks it's too hard to "go back" to what they used to know how to do before all this technology.

While I've zero data to backup my claim, I happen to believe that eliminating technology and reclaiming one's brainpower is going to be one of the keys to a longer, happier, more sustainable life. Socialization (human to human) interaction is key too.
