How about get some work done or play some basketball or spend time with the kids?

Did my work, knees are blown from military service so I don't play ball, and my kids are grown. Intellectual pursuits, like studying technology development from the 14th through 19th century keep me busy. Of course, I need 21st century tools to do that.

But then, I'm not a luddite that thinks I know best for everybody.

Luddite? I use a computer all day long. I probably know more about computers than most people here. I’ve operated a CNC when I was in maanufacturing and in the business world, I’ve programmed in Cobol and Visual Basic on a professional basis, as well.

I just don’t care for cell phones. I suppose I would be a Luddite if I actually rejected technology, but loathing it is not the same as rejecting it.

The biggest problem for me is the disconnect from the real world, at least I can walk away from my desktop. People can’t walk away from their cell phones.
