All of it. It may well be impossible to have a peaceful existence with this crap being constantly shoved down your throat, and having your survival depend on your assimilation of it. It's like trying to digest a supersized mcdonald's meal. Crap, most of it.


This close to going back to the rat race. Not because of the income stability or the mindless rote tasks, but simply to avoid having to jump through an unknown quantity of hoops just to get the most basic of tasks done. And then when you want to do something seemingly complicated, the shit is easy. I'd rather keep what hair I have left.

Fuck unpredictability. Fuck chaos. Fuck technology.

It's to the point where I can respect a zionist prick like Sheldon Anderson simply because he shuns the crap too.

12 Super Successful People Who Shun Technology

That is all...
 


If you compare the average level of quality control between consumer technology and other industries, you'll notice a huge fucking difference on the whole.

You must be computer illiterate. '...jump through an unknown quantity of hoops just to get the most basic of tasks done.'

You sound like my mom trying to save a Microsoft Word document.
 
My television, stereo, and microwave don't force me to upgrade, doesn't have bugs up the ass, and don't have a counter-intuitive interfaces.

Cars used to be simple as fuck but now they're interactive computerized distracting clusterfucks. Any coincidence that people can't drive worth a shit nowadays?

This guy is a IT professor at Harvard and he agrees with me:

I agree for the most part and if income wasn't dependent on computers I definitely might go without them for a few years at least.

Then again torrents are nice.
 
If nobody says shit due to concerns of ostracization, or appearing unsophiticated, dumb, or unhip, there won't be any system of checks and balances to the excesses of obsolescence, bad programming, weird interfaces and "change for the sake of change", especially when you consider the obscene amount of advertising dollars the tech industry spends to brainwash people.

Not saying good marketing is wrong, but the bottom line is that the inconveniences of consumer technology are more unnecessary than they are necessary.
 
I suppose if you have enough money to have personal assistants and a hoard of other staff, eschewing all technology wouldn't be that big of an issue. Because let's face it, even though those guys in the HP article may not use modern tech (which I highly doubt anyway), the people that take care of their day to day bullshit do use it to take care of them.

As for rejoining the rat race, if you think you're going to get away from technology there, you're sadly mistaken. Unless you're planning on working some low-level dead end job, employees are basically expected to be on call 24 hours a day anymore either through cell phone or email.

In other words: want to stop using all tech tech? You have two options. Become a mountain man or become a billionaire. Good luck becoming a billionaire in today's world without using technology. So I guess it's off to the mountains for you.

He could become a tree planter, mushroom picker or a crab fisher.
 
1. Mikhail Prokhorov. The Brooklyn Nets owner does not own a cell phone and prefers written letters over email, according to the New York Post. The Russian billionaire also avoids using computers when possible because they provide "too much information and it's really impossible to filter it," he told 60 Minutes in an interview.

Sounds to me like full-blown autism.

Going through the list, I couldn't help but wonder if a lot of these billionaires and people in positions of political power simply don't like electronics because they know you can be tracked (and everything you write is accessible).

Is it a liability for them?

I may have forgotten to mention the rampant overfunctionalization in almost anything technological too.

This is what dealing with unfamiliar technology is like: successfully seducing a hard-to-get girl, and having completely unenjoyable sex. Even when you figure it out, there's no sense of triumph. Only remiss at the wasted time and energy.

I hope the haters got a kick out of this, but the joke's on you too. By taking a position of superiority at a perceived luddite instead of directing your ire at a rogue industry, you're enabling the wasting of your own time.

I know this is wickedfire, obviously, but this is a marketing forum and not a technology one. The excesses of technology is everyone's problem, not just one person's.
