If You Had To Walk Away From One Technology In Your Life, What Would It Be?

TLDR: If You Had To Walk Away From One Technology In Your Life, What Would It Be?
In a forum thread discussing which technology users could live without, participants expressed varied opinions: - Ozzy47, kikipetie, Nilla, and Butterfly88 mentioned they could do without their mobile phones or TVs, noting alternative devices like laptops for consuming media. - Violette and marti stated they could live without their landlines. - Heylinz chose the laptop as the dispensable technology. - safeinsanity and diane15 criticized the excessive use of cell phones, highlighting social issues like lack of real-world interaction and the distracting nature of mobile devices in public spaces. - A guest mentioned computers, pointing out problems like identity theft. - The overall sentiment in the thread leaned towards frustration with how mobile technology, particularly cell phones, affects social interactions and attention spans.
Cell phones for sure!

People are retarded staring at them all the time and what really makes me cringe is when large crowds of people all hold up their phones and record the same damn video! They look so stupid! ?
 
I would walk away from my cell phone, people abuse them and act like it is their world and the world would end. NO one knows how to talk to people anymore, that is why no one knows how to socialize anymore.

What is annoying is when you see people on their phones walking down the street or crossing the road and they bump into you.
I don't see why people can't wait until they are at home to start texting or whatever they do lol.

especially when you are driving, they just think the text or phone is more important than other people. This is a sore subject with me, everyone tells me to get a phone so they can text, dialing a number is just as quick if you have memory call, they choose not to hear the persons voice so they don't have to deal with the other person. It is sad and you wonder why so many people are stressed or angry, how can you tell how the person really feels on the other side, you can't what is so important as you said that they can't wait, the earth is coming to an end, how are you going to save it anyways, they need a life
