A periodic reminder that you can live without "modern" tech and do fine. I have never owned a smart phone and am doing great. Still using a circa 2006 Intuos 3. Still driving a 2009 Nissan Versa with knobs n everything; still listening to CDs. If tech makes you unhappy, you don't have to use it~

see if I got a partner who has a smartphone I could also travel the world without a smartphone (this is not a gotcha but an expression of mild envy). love my ancient dacia though that I stole from my parents

new cars kinda frighten me a bit. while driving my dad's new nissan he insisted I try this feature that would keep an even distance between you & the car ahead. this was on a highway going like 120 kmph. & I kept insisting, dad, we're closing in on the car ahead, this is dumb

and we got uncomfortably close before he admitted I was right & let me drive the thing like a human person. which is the only way my shitty old car can be driven

I only crash into other cars on parking lots or in traffic jams, standing p much still, & this awful habit means I've thankfully never died or killed anyone with a car. & I don't want to be all asimov abt it but we're giving ai too much responsibility
