Definitely not a technophobe but it goes in waves and I try to be selective with it. I held out on touchscreens and smart phones for years, then I got one and it was the best thing since sliced bread. Now I would hate to go back to a dumb phone.

Never really been into computer games.

Don't see the point in a touchscreen lap top.

Signed up for Facebook in about 2006 then didn't touch it for 6 years. Signed back in when I became a father to share pictures of my daughter with family and close friends spread across the world. It's quite good for that, but don't feel any need to post everything that crosses my mind.

Love my Bluetooth car stereo/phone link up.

See absolutely no reason at all to join Twitter.

Find iAnythings irritating and over precious.

It's all about what you use and how. If your life revolves around having the latest and greatest everything and tweeting the world about it then you'll be constantly frustrated, overwhelmed and poor. If you use technologies that are developed enough to be useful and enable you to do something that would otherwise be difficult, expensive or downright impossible, then technology is wonderful.
Pretty much how I am, except I have to use Twitter/facebook to promote work stuff, and FB is handy for car events. I wouldn't go so far as to say technology is wonderful, but when it works and isn't too time consuming to work out it's very helpful. Don't get me started on modern cars though.... furious

That's about as far advanced as I get.
I hate face book, twitter. Face time?
Online banking? Online wking maybe ok.
I dont Skype except at work.
I don't register anything unless I can't avoid it.
Never purchase online.
Never subscribe.
Anyone else as pissed off with technology as me?
My phone has unlimited data, but I use it for text and phone calls.
I like pubs, clubs, and restaurants.
I like real stuff.
I like sex with real women not porn.
I like fast cars and bikes, not video games.
Anyone else?
That's the same for me. I haven't got the hang of anything on a computer apart from basic keyboard and mouse functions and I actively go out of my way to avoid having to use my portable 'phone.
