A friend on #zuckbook posted a picture of a butter bell they bought (a simple 2-piece ceramic cup that keeps butter safe at room temperature by using water to form an airtight seal).

This was my response. I think it highlights how a lot of us feel about modern tech:

If someone invented that today, it would have a vacuum pump, a USB-C port for charging, a sanitizing black light LED, a very poorly-written app, and would stop working in five years after someone stopped paying to renew the domain.

@RL_Dane I've always joked with friends that "The more you learn about computers, the more you end up de-teching your life" =P

So true!

There needs to be a word for luddites that actually know a lot about tech.

@RL_Dane Well, everyone just calls us crazy ;)

But yeah, a good example of de-teching I did recently, was I replaced my smart phone's alarm clock, with a classic twin-bell alarm clock. Was tired of my smart phone's alarm clock failing.

Oh dear God, I'd launch a physical alarm clock into orbit when it wakes me up! 😂
