Ditching technology lol. It's proven to be very bad for us. There is also research showing that the younger a child gets their first phone, the higher likelyhood they will have depression.
Plus so many sites and tech are so enshittified that avoiding them entirely is a better alternative. Our technology is getting faster and faster yet software runs slower and slower to make you buy new hardware. Try running Linux on an old computer vs Windows and you'll see what I mean.
I work in IT and I swear technology is here to suck us dry. And all those "smart" devices, from TV's, ovens, security cameras, all spy on you for data.
I know I sound like a nut head but look into it at least a little. There's a reason every company is so keen to make everything "smart" with wireless connectivity, despite every consumer calling it stupid.
