low tech

my new year's resolution is to go "low tech". why? there are several reasons:
  • high tech is no longer my friend. 
  • when high tech becomes more of a nuisance than a friend, then it's time to go low tech.
  • software upgrades are a nuisance. 
  • learning curves are a nuisance. 
  • when the old version does everything that you want, then to whose advantage is the software upgrade? (hint: it isn't you.)
  • Bezos has enough $$$. He doesn't need more of mine.
  • same for Google, internet and cell phone providers, tv streamers, online security providers, device providers, etc.
so, it's back to paper and pencil and my trusty calculator for me.
