Glad I’m not dependent on technology

I am kind of glad that I grew up in an era before modern technology.

I'm glad I don't have Internet or television at home. It gives me more time to read or work on various projects, without the time-suck known as the Internet. It's bad enough that I now have a smartphone, but at least the data service is limited on that, so I can't be wasting time on Youtube, etc.
