What technology would you be better off without, why?

What technology would you be better off without, why?

I will have to say my cell phone. That thing is good for many reasons but also can be a capturing thing that holds you hostage at times. I am a school teacher and cell phones are the biggest issue I see in the classroom. They ring all day, go off, beep, vibrate and just generally are not needed. They disrupt our lives, conversations and activities at times as well. I appreciate my cell phone, but I could honestly live without it as I did growing up in the late 60’s, 70′ and being a teenager in the 80’s. They have a purpose but spending more time with my family and actually talking to people face to face is more important to me than social media, videos and spam calls.

  1. I agree! I often wish I could just throw my phone away. I agree with the previous commentary that they are so incredibly useful, but it is a massive time suck.

  2. To be honest, I agree. There are moments when I use my phone to doom scroll and waste my time.

    It’s undeniable that our phones are so useful, but it’s become a blessing and a curse these days.
