You're the one complaining about being "dependent" on technology, which sounds exactly like something a hipster would yap about. If the shoe fits, wear it. Every time you get in your car and drive any significant distance, you're "dependent" on technology. Are you going to try to walk 100 miles so you don't have to be dependent on technology? Cellphones are no different. AAA is not "technology", that's a service. Please try to learn the difference. Someone coming and doing something for you because you're too lazy, ignorant, or disabled to do it yourself (the last one is excusable, the others not so much) is not "technology" any more than a business having a telephone number is a "tech company". Changing a tire isn't hard, it even tells you how in your car's owner's manual. What this has to do with cellphones, I have no idea. If you don't have a cellphone with you because you're a hipster moron who doesn't want to be "dependent" on technology, and you're on a rural road and just had a car wreck, what's the "handling the necessities of life" method of calling an ambulance, smoke signals? Technology allows us to do things we couldn't do before, and turning your nose up at it because of some hipster ethos is just stupid and shortsighted. And no, you're not a technophile, or else you wouldn't have even come up with this idiotic argument.

I think you're completely missing my point. AAA isn't the technology, the cell phone is. I'm saying learn how to change a tire so if your toys fail you, you can still get by. A "hipster" wouldn't know how to change a tire because he would ironically be so dependent on his iPhone he would never consider the fact that he would ever be out of cell tower range, so would never bother to learn. Your insults and assumptions ring false, and since they are the meat of your argument, you have no argument to make.
