Some good tips, thanks for sharing. > No, I do not reject new technology innovations; instead, I refuse the ways of the people how they engage with these tools. Absolutely. This is a key attitude. It's mature and strong to be discerning, not to "throw out the baby with the bath-water". But it's also the friction point, because culture and use is inseparable from affordance/utility [1]. In different words, how other people use technology also impacts it's relation to you. Especially networked technology. So dash2's response to my earlier comment is spot-on, we need collectively organised "spaces" and groups to challenge digital imposition. [1] Not wishing to bore with lots of tech critique literature and references but Jacques Ellul (New Demons, Empire of Non-Sense), Ivan Illich (Tools for Conviviality) and Neil Postman (particularly Technopoly and Amusing Ourselves to death) - all good materials to understand the difficulty of neatly distinguishing individual choice/freedoms from context of culture and practice.
