When it comes to tech, I think there comes a point in your life where you just decide "this is the tech I am comfortable with and I have no interest in advancing." I worry, that even as a fairly tech savvy person that I've hit my limit at 43. Time has passed me by much sooner than I thought.

2: Am I turning off the Internet forever, or just for 24 hours. Either way, I've always been someone who wants to press the button that says do not press. I think I'd do it. Gotta find out what would happen.

4: You are not the only one. I keep thinking about getting a CD player again. There's lots of bands I liked from the mid 90's through 2010ish that were never big enough to have a release on vinyl and the only way to get own their music is on CD. That is going to be a tricky conversation with my wife, as my vinyl collection is taking up a lot of room...

I think we're both at that same point where we're done learning new tech. The good news is that the next wave of tech is supposed to be able to learn for itself, so maybe we're not needed and therefore can spend more time listening to our favorite 90s bands. that's the dream, anyway.

I feel this, retired last year because I didn't want to learn any new tricks and the new tricks were becoming a weekly thing. I kept a "3 in 1" compact audio system bought in the '90's and it still works so my collection of CDs and cassettes are still in rotation and spend my days reliving the great old ones through music.
