Phone, not so much, but computer - yep! I did realize that I was spending way too much time on the computer (they say that acknowledgement is the first step!) and decided to shut it off and walk away. Did just that. Longest 10 minutes of my life!

I was born in 88 so I slowly grew up with tech. It has its purpose. I would never want to be 100% without. I like being able to call or facetime family from far away.

2 step verification only came about because boomers kept on giving their bank account logins to Nigerian princes who promised them riches. Banks had to figure out a way to fight it because every time boomers did that they blamed the bank instead of their own stupidity. So now, when you log in, you get 2 step verification to be sure it's actually YOU.
ODT is my Internet drug of choice, but I waste plenty of time scrolling others too. Go to check or send an email and next thing you know you've scrolled through little shorts for an hour. It's a real time waster I need to find a way to kick it.
Having the internet is a great convenience no doubt, I still pay a few local bills with a check and walking into the business. My wife asks why not pay that online? As much as I hate a lot of people, I still like a few. lol I think the advent of the internet has killed social skills in people. Can I give it up? I guess when Big Brother shuts it off for us being non compliant we will suck it up and continue on. Someone write me a letter to let me know when they find a deal, I'll jump on my horse and go get it. Maybe pay with some home canned brandy pears and a chicken.
That ties into the USPS thread. I have sent you a letter it may just take a week or two to get it 1.5 hours up the road.
If it wasn't 100% required for work. Yes. Absolutely
Social media - i have given it up before so I could do it again.
Internet -- no way. Used Google maps twice to today just to get to a place. I checked price for multiple items at the thrift store I volunteer. I looked for parts to fix stuff. Heck, I saved a ton of money figuring out my alternator was the cause of the engine noise and could compare prices of new and reman parts.
And where are you going to find and research news? W/O the internet and just on regular news sources would you take the vax? Would you belive Biden? And did Epstein kill himself?
