Who else is a technophobe?

[HertsBiker]

Obviously I'm on PH via a tablet/pc.
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?

When you've posted thousands of times on an internet forum over a period of 12 years I really don't think you class as a technophobe?

That was my first thought also.


It's up there with Two Jags claiming he is anorexic.



btw - Anyone else notice the contradiction in the OP's post.
Clue - woman and gratification.

Dont think too deeply on the rhyming words. It was ironic but having to explain kind of spoils it. Thanks.. Yes I know I've been here a long time but that's as far as it goes. Like it said in the original post, I'm on PH and that's about as far my technology reaches. Sheesh why is it so hard to write anything on a forum without people nit picking? Even more reason for me disliking technology. I think I could have explained better down the pub after a few pints. Anyone up for a beer...? OK only me then.

This is certainly not nit picking, you have just posted something quite bizarre.

"I only skype at work", "Never register anything", "Never subscribe"

What do those things even mean? I have never heard of those them, and I am by no means a 'technophobe'.

I guess I am more nerdy than I wish. I had to join Skype as we have a multinational team! But I never use my real name or ID unless forced to. My colleagues are into everything new for the sake of it. 4g when 3g is okay. Seems way out of control now. Everything is online and nothing is sacred.

Doesn't sound like technophobia to me - fear of technology and yet using a computer to access an internet forum?

It doesn't have to be either/or, as the OP nicely demonstrates while seemingly trying to show otherwise. Some people take it too far, but most just use technology as labour/time-saving devices.

You have a good point.. What's the word for someone who uses technology reluctantly?
