- Extreme fear of losing a cell phone is now considered a phobia and has been given the name nomophobia. Though I am afraid of snakes, heights, and losing my purse, I do not have nomophobia. Perhaps because I lived for 50 years without one and know I could do so again.
- However, my love for the low tech days of yesteryear go only so far. With a houseful of company over Labor Day, along with high temperatures and humidity, I have no desire to return to the time when air conditioning was not.
- And in the wake of a weekend with a houseful of company and a water main break, I also have no desire to live without running water. Ever. Again.
What technology would be hard to give up? What would you do away with in a heartbeat? Leave a comment.
Giving up modern day heating and air conditioning, and indoor plumbing would be hard. I remember cook stoves, oil heaters, and outhouses. I could easily give up my smartphone.
I agree. I’d give up the phone long before parting with heating, cooling, and indoor plumbing. My idea of camping is a night in a motel room.
