There are days, as a tertiary-qualified 26-year-veteran of the IT industry, where I absolutely despise not just computers but anything that runs on electricity.
Today is one of those days.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my shack in the woods far away from any and all technology, screaming.

I see this as similar to the cybersecurity workers not using tech (like, Alexa/Siri, cameras with net access, social media, etc), they know how easy it is for it all to go bad lol

Oh I’m definitely in that camp, very late adopter to some stuff once it’s had time to mature, and my IoT crap at home is all isolated from the parts of the network that I care about.
I don’t even use wireless headphones because I much prefer a cable, it just works every single time without any charging/pairing/dropout/quality hassle.

Nah, I’m 32 and I prefer wired over wireless. Wired headphones, speakers, mouse, charging cords, etc. I hate the idea of airpods because I know I’ll lose one, and I’m suss about Bluetooth tech. I dislike the possibility of Bluetooth headphones failing and everyone hearing whatever I’m playing, and I dislike Bluetooth because everyone can see you. I hate this wireless shit so much.

Then we will communicate by carrier pigeon. Written with a quill pen - not from the pigeon cos then it couldn’t fly with no feathers. 🐥🐦🦆🦉🐓🦃🦅🦜🦚📝

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Delivered by carrier pigeon of course.
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 weeks ago
I will add you to the scheduled flight path. 🐦🐦📝🐦🐦⏰📪
Please note that the pigeon may not be eaten for dinner. Even though squab as a meat is freakin’ delicious - particularly when baked in clay in your campfire.
