I don't have any of the modern electronics at all. I know the Internet would be a distraction. I would see things that interested me and never get back to writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm always interested in what you can do with technology that people haven't thought of doing yet.
I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology.
I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing, the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That's what I hate about all this technology.
I'm really hopeless with technology - I don't even have a computer.
I won't deny that I have a far more productive writing life without the Internet, mostly because I rekindle my ability to concentrate on one thing for a period of longer than three minutes. My curiosity is channeled inward rather than Internet-ward.
I'm kind of a Luddite myself. I've got a bunch of typewriters at home. I'm a big fan of old technology.
I'm fascinated with the electronic devices that we can mess around with.
I'm not much into current electronic stuff, what I think of as lounge electronics, mumbling electronics.
Even though I'm totally dependent on modern electronic gizmos, from my laptop to my iPod to my cell phone, I love to embrace old technology or no technology at all.
I don't know what I would do without my smartphone as I am on the go all day.
