What technology would you be better off without, why?
Or maybe not. I do love my phone, it connects me with good friends, family, but it would be better if it were a simple phone not a smart phone.
On the other hand I write all these answers when I wake up in the morning, read the news, catch up with friends, check on Facebook and Threads, remind people I have a book. Share some inspiration. So it’s better that it’s a smart phone not a simple phone.
I can also take photos anywhere, but that means I never take my good camera with extra lenses and stuff, so I’ve got photos but they could be better. Which means a simple phone might be better?
Then there’s music while I’m walking, I live in a mind numbingly boring locality for walking, but then nothing much matches Glastonbury for that, so my music makes it easier to get out the door. Except that I dance my way up the paths and get some strange looks. So my street cred may be better if this wasn’t a smart phone.
But then who wants to be boring and not dance instead of walk? That makes it better that it is a smart phone.
As you can see, it’s a confusing relationship but all in all I might be better off without it, but I do love it.
The joys and confusion of technology. Connecting and separating at the same time. Offering so much more information and knowledge that we can or cannot trust.

P.S. if I lost it I’d be hysterical!
