I have a sister who is technophobic; she doesn't even use a computer.
I managed to work for more than 50 years with just paper, pencils and film. My son's generation and the one coming up after can't work with just paper and pencils any more. I managed to avoid using a computer. I don't even have a cellphone. I feel lucky I managed to live like that.
I don't really engage with that world of technology, which might be to my detriment.
I've got a computer, but I won't go near it.
I avoided the computer generation for a very long time.
I'm a total Luddite when it comes to gadgets and technology.
I don't use machines - animals don't use machines.
I'm just such a Luddite, and I want to write books about Luddites.
I've never had Internet access. Actually, I have looked at things on other people's computers as a bystander. A few times in my life I've opened email accounts, twice actually, but it's something I don't want in my life right now.
I do not belong to this world. I continue to write everything in longhand. If I have to see something on the Internet, I ask my secretary or students. I am lucky, because I have people who do it for me.
I don't have any of the modern stuff. I don't have e-mail. I don't have a computer!
I'm not really gadget oriented. I'm not into technology or computers. I'm not good at interfacing with that sort of gear.
I am not gadgety at all. It's not that I'm appalled by technology, but I've taken my time acquiring any of it.
I'm a troglodyte. I think that's the word for it. Like an old school weird person who throws bricks at their computers.
I'm really not techno-savvy - that's just not my personality.
Technology can become a crutch. Sometimes it's there just to hide behind when you're shy of what you're trying to say.
I loathe computers more and more, so I have one I can shut down and shelve like a book.
I ain't got a credit card, a mobile phone or a computer. Call me sentimental. I think that's a whole world of trouble I ain't got no business setting foot in. And you know what? It feels good.
