Technology enhancing quality of life without adding unnecessary complexity. Exactly. And, I might add, UNNECESSARY COST.
I'm not 'technology averse'. (Or cheap.) But I'm sure as hell not 'tech simply for the sake of tech' either. That's why I refuse to purchase a smart phone. Don't need all that 'tech' just to make or receive a call now and then, which is all I 'need' to do. And I have no interest in the other things a smart phone can do. Have this little gizmo sitting in my lap for that!
I was forced to purchase a smart phone as the "dumb" phone I got was too dumb to allow me to put more than one phone number for my contacts, or include addresses, etc. All they had to do was upgrade my prior dumb phone, which was great and didn't have 56 apps attached to it that I had to disable, to 4G! But no-o-o. The tech boys put all kinds bells and whistles I did not want and dumbed down their smart phone (I can't even transfer photos to the computer!). When it comes to new tech, they seem determined to give people things they don't need/want, and make it harder to give them things they do want/need!
