The
coming anti-tech counterculture?
My girlfriend is adamant about keeping her old crusty flip phone with a broken hinge that doesn't have a real keyboard on it, or even the internet!
The majority of my friends almost refuse to own televisions.
I own a kindle, but almost never use it in favor of paper.
I also own several prosumer digital SLRs, but favor my old vivitar 35mm camera from high school.
etc. etc. The list goes on.
(For reference, my girlfriend and I are both programmers)
Look even here on HN, how many people are actually anti facebook, or how common "I'm staying off the internet for 6 months!" posts are.
The anti-tech counterculture is already here.
