What technology would you be better off without, why?
I’d be a lot better off without my iPhone.
I spend far too much time on social media. It keeps me awake at night scrolling through tweets on Bluesky and X. I even check it when I wake during the night.
In fact I’m constantly checking for messages, news and just generally checking.
I come from a generation that queued up outside a red telephone booth to make a phone call and you only phoned home if there was an emergency. I managed perfectly well until the birth of the iPhone. I was actually able to go places without my parents knowing where I was.
I think being so easily contacted can be a good thing but can also feel suffocating in that you can never get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
Hold on my phone is buzzing, have to go!!
