It's interesting that you mention landlines. I feel like I've been slightly ahead of the curve in giving up: a landline (~2005), cable (~2007), and Facebook (2014). Twitter and Instagram still exist on my phone, and I have the occasional desire to push content to them, but I haven't in about a year. I feel about the experience of swimming through other people's political ideas and vacation and/or kids photos the way I imagine an alcoholic feels about drinking: I've tried that and it made me miserable. The fact that my wife still uses social media means a truly important child photo or life event eventually makes its way to me.
