I am old enough not to have to worry about that day coming. I;ve seen enough technology failures that I don't want to have to rely on it! I've been prepping for the force 9 subduction zone earthquake that's coming, and that means no power for, probably, several months. No power, no technology!

I'm sitting here at my computer browsing away (although trying to avoid the news of the moment, dredging up painful memories), and I certainly have plenty of modern technology in my home. I just want to get away from it when out in the mountains! Like many seniors, I'm also on a very limited budget, so I really can't afford those pricey gadgets. My $25 flip phone is high-tech enough for me.
