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~

Since I had some msgs; phone is a modern Kyocera DuraXA Equip. It uses 4G and I use it primarily for work calls and texting my dentist. I have a tablet (iPad) for work/“mobile” stuff where there’s internet, and plan ahead for no-internet stuff like GPS. I use in-browser test environments for work.

The intuos is from eBay. I use social media on my desktop like an old person and do not use FB/ insta/ tiktok/ spotify/ whatever except for one or two work alts. Your mileage may vary depending on what you do for a living. People lived just fine like this until 2006, I was there 3000 yrs ago, etc

I’m so grateful to have an Intuos3, might go back to it at some point because lots of people find it’s better for their posture to draw that way!
