I tried using a Game Boy Advance SP with my son. It has no internet connection and he gets to play some fun stuff. It worked really well! But when it comes to reducing my tech footprint, the only issue I found with going down this path were bank apps. It is basically a requirement to have either an iOS or Android modern device to do anything.

Do banking via their website?

  Still works for me. I've never had a mobile device of any kind and banking hasn't been an issue. My bank (Ally) briefly made some noise about deposits moving to mobile-only but they seem to have backed off. I guess it'll probably happen someday. The only thing I've encountered that I truly can't use is the city bikeshare program.

  Many banks require you to use their crappy custom-made 2FA apps that require Android/iOS
