had an insight into what I'm aiming for in terms of my relationship with technology
I call it living an "analog life"
it doesn't literally mean that the tech I use has to be analog
it means that I'm trying to return to as much of a pre-smartphone existence as possible
more thoughts on this later, but I'm curious how anyone else has tried for this in their own life?
@mimsical I’ve done it in spurts. But always returned. The reliance on medical and banking institutions on apps and communication technology make it impractical to break away for me personally.
I’m in the process of educating a relative how to deal with life online. She is now dealing with long term memory care for a spouse, and who has always relied on analog methods of communication and transactions. She’s always distrusted tech. Now she has to learn to live with it and is hating it.
