Low Tech Friends

Recently I had lunch with some FOFs (friends of friends), during the course of the conversation I discovered that the FOF had no computer, smart phones or internet connection at their home. For some reason this seems amazing to me, I don’t mean amazing in a good “amazed” way. I’d compare it to looking at the fuse box of your house and discovering that it runs on steam or coal. I just couldn’t wrap my mind around how or what life would be like without my iphone or computer. I most certainly would not be writing this or rather posting this for you to read. I tried not to alienate them or create any awkward tension but the curiosity was overwhelming. I proceeded in the nicest most respectful way possible and there didn’t seem to be any quantifiable root cause other than that they were very busy physically active and just haven’t invested much time or thought into owning a computer especially since they could just use their “work computer” to carry out any online related tasks. The question then became what if you leave your current job ? that was a much less interesting part of the conversation.

I think because of my upbringing it’s especially difficult to identify with anyone who doesn’t embrace technology, I grew up in silicon valley, at that time I remember all my parents, step parents, neighbors, and friends worked in the technology field.

Note: they do seem to watch a lot of TV, meaning standard cable no premium channels. They seem to have a fantastic relationship
