I like GPS but I know how to use a map and compass. I like the cell phones but I don’t block traffic while I’m caught up in my little social media world. It’s gone too far.

I'm with you. I was a software engineer/enterprise architect for 35+ years. I use technology in a limited manner in my personal life. I really don't care for GPS. I like to know where I am going ahead of time. I don't like to be lead around. I'm not big on social media - FR is as close as I get to that. I like to be with friends and family with all devices turned off. Have real conversations that are not asynchronous messages and without interrupts being triggered every 10 seconds.

We’re anachronisms.
