Orzzz: The funny thing in this world is people assume because they own something, do something or deal with stuff...every person on earth does it too.
I am a Luddite. I avoid as much of the modern world as I can. Much of it I view as a waster of time. Growing up on a farm back in the dark ages, tech consisted of a land line and antenna TV that got 4 channels. Mom had her radio/record player stereo console. I had my transistor radio. And my Sears record player. Still have them all. lol. Still have 8 tracks, cassettes, VHS tapes and did upgrade to a DVD player cause my guy gave it to me. Never watch it. I read books. Or craft. The old rotary phones are still hooked up and can answer calls on them. Have to call out on the push button one. Desktop computer runs XP still. Works the little I use it.
People today cant exist without a cell phone they carry around like a pet. The things are so big they wont fit nicely in a pocket. They have smartphones that cost them a fortune every month so they can instantly check into the trivial garbage others are doing. They text, they talk, they take photos of their lunch, the cat, cars, stores, shopping..and once in awhile something actually that someone else might care about.
They drive in a car that has a distracting screen instead of gauges that might alert you to your engine lunching out. Maps are out of date..use GPS to you can get lost high tech.
No movie, actor, concert, game, event or restaurant goes under the radar. They are IN THE KNOW!
I do none of it. I carry a small flip cell phone that can text. 3G so cant send photos anymore. It is for emergencies or someone to get hold of me when I am outside. We are on our way, do you have a...Handy is if my car breaks down. Or I get trampled in the barnyard..I've fallen and I can't get up...cause there is a mule sitting on me!!
It can not retrieve 1gig or whatever they are messages. I tell the neighbor do NOT send me emojis because I have no idea what those rectangles I get are. I dont do apps. Nor things like hangup or Twitter or Facebook or any of those things. No way I want to waste time on trivial stuff. I have a landline for a phone and except local, it all is extra costs. My cell is 3 months for double minutes of 60. So I get 120 to use. I am ahead so end up spending maybe $3 a month. TV is still antenna. No cable, internet is through phone line, no streaming, no subscriptions to anything. No credit cards, no charges.My car is a 2002 and trunk is a 1976. Put maybe 200 miles on them a year. No theaters, no restaurants and minimal shopping.

I have an old laptop, a granny mobile phone, a working rotary phone (but no land line), a single ring induction hot plate, a fan, a small radio, washing machine, fridge/freezer, a wee table top halogen oven, a half knackered microwave, an immersion blender, two electric sewing machines, a 1940's treddle sewing machine, an overlocker, an iron, an electric ironing board (it's a tailoring thing) and a 1940's walnut veneered radiogram in need of repair.
And light bulbs.
I think I'd out-Luddite the lot of you, but I have a hankering for an electric vegetable spiraliser/slicer/grater. I'm so poorly at the moment I have to lie down before I fall down after grating a carrot.

I don't have that many electric items and often have the "mechanical equivalent so as not to rely solely on electricity. I do own an electric iron but only use it when I need it for my arty stuff. I also have a non electric iron ...
Apart from that, I got gifted a couple of electric oil radiators I use when it gets really cold to take the chill off my bedroom or the bathroom (a few times a year) but mostly I heat the house up with a wood burning stove which has a top oven so I can also cook in it.
In the kitchen I have an electric blender/liquidizer (also the mechanical equivalent), a toaster, a mechanical coffee grinder (the electric one I only use for spices that need grinding really fine), an electric spiraliser which I wish I had not bought as I much prefer my friend's hand held one and my fridge-freezer.
Those, plus my electric sewing machine, washing machine, a few lamps dotted around the house and my small laptop and that's me for electric items.
I use gas for cooking and heating the water.
I don't like electric gadgets.

I like hand driven, cast iron sewing machines, but I gave my collection to a religious organsation when I moved. They recondition them and export them to Africa enabling women to set up their own businesses.Take loads of care Jac
That's how I started my tailoring business.
My treddle machine needs a bit of renovation. I'm nt sure when I'm going to get round to that, mind.
I have wood stove envy, btw.

I'd only need a wee wood stove that needs a wee bit of filling...oh yeah, and somebody to chop the wood given I can barely chop carrots at the moment.
I'm not listening to you anymore, Orzz.
