The happiest people I know don't use any technology at all, at least past 1980. There is this one guy, a good customer of mine, who is mega wealthy, doesn't use a cell phone, nor any computers at all. He has people that you have to call, and he will get back to you when he feels that it is convenient. When he visits my shop, he is always in a good mood, and you'd better not answer a cell phone around him, or he just leaves.
Another is my old college roommate. He has never had a computer, nor used one. He still has an answering machine that he checks when it is convenient for him. When I go with him to run an errand or something, he is never stressed nor bothered by anyone. It is refreshing.
99% of the things that were meant to be timesaving devices turned out to be timesucks, wasting tons of our time trying to figure them out. Computer systems salesmen have tried to sell me, inventory control, blah blah blah, all big wastes of time. After their schpiel, of entering inventory, ordering, sales. yaddi yaddi, multiple saves, backups, entering data, this thing, that thing. He asks me how long it takes me to do all of that now, and I just show him my ledger, which takes me maybe 20 minutes a week.
No, most technologies are a waste of time, and far inferior to the old ways. But, they can be fun. I am just not buying into anything technology related being a timesaver. The first time a back up crashes or you loose data... and the computer gets tossed into the garbage.
