How do you survive socially sans a cellphone, blu-ray player, iPod, iPhone?

[Kristine A]

I'm a old-lady in the shape of a girl who is almost 30 when is comes to technology. I don't mind texting but I really dislike social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace. . I also sometimes get annoyed about how much technology has changed about ipones, iPods, Blu-ray I find they make people lose their identity and there is less face-to-face time. Because for thousands and thousands of years people didn't ride cars, listen to the radio, no electricity. And people survived ok. But now there is much technology people don't even care how pollution wrecking their damn own planet and cellphones give cancer. Besides most of Africa has starving people who have no technology at all and people should try to spend money on helping starving people. 'im finding it increasingly hard to maintain a social life without my smartphone though. It's like if you don't play ball, you're not invited to the game with some people. I find some people will not continue to talk to me unless they have texting as a communication platform. Should I just accept that I will be somewhat of a loner for the rest of my life because of my distaste for technology?

Never go to the extreme...Technology do changes our life, and kids living in these days are born to take electronic means in... Some people feel hard to talk to others face-to-face, that's their problems about social contact, that's not the fault of technology. If we don't use cellphones and network, etc., surely, we will be more or less be distant from the society... because time's different... just remember not to be obsessed with those electronic means... that's what we can do to keep the original value long live in our hearts.
