I don't have a TV (well I do, but it's not hooked up as a TV, it's simply a computer screen that I watch a couple of movies a month on). I have never had a facebook account and I detest smartphones. I have a simple flip open phone that cost $15 and I had texting and the mobile browser turned off. (I do however have a nexus 7 which I like but I don't carry it everywhere). I get by just fine. I watch people fiddling with their smartphones everywhere I go (my girlfriend is one them... she can't sit through dinner without texting or taking a picture of the meal and posting it somewhere...does anyone care?) and wonder what they get out it. I love computers and technology. I love to sit and code for hours. I love reading HN and posting irrelevant comments like this one. But then I stand up and walk away and HN doesn't follow me. I might be getting old but I just don't get it. I simply couldn't handle being connected all the time.
