more random-thought-ish, but did you guys ever feel left behind by technology? you know, like people from our parents' generation or older who are just illiterate with all things internet. (at least my parents are.)

i don't have iphone, can't twister, and not a big fan of facebook, but all in all, i still insist i'm doing pretty ok. it's not hard to imagine though that soon there'll be a lot for me to catch up.

I sometimes feel I'm behind on things when I compare what is available to me (or rather NOT) and what the Americans, for example, take for granted nowadays.

Neither me or my wife own a cell phone and I think we're better people because of it.

Well, that's cool if you can pull it off. I don't know if it makes you better people, but it definitely means you lead a lifestyle that doesn't include many of the common aspects for most of the people.

I could go rogue and ditch my cellphone. I wouldn't be able to contact my family since I don't have a landline, I'd lose most of my clients and jobs and pretty much be left with very few choices in life.

But you'd be a better person.

I'm not saying that we are better than other people because we don't have cellphones, I'm saying we are better off not having cellphones. Of course in certain instances (if you require one for a job, out of town constantly) then they might be a good tool but for the most part they are doing far more damage to our society than good.
