See my problem with people like this is if they think modern technology is bad, why stop at late 2000s? Why not go to the 90s and use cassette tapes and brick phones? Hell, let's go even further and use mainframes and green text terminals. Why stop there? Why not go to the telegraph? Surely the telegraph is slower and simpler than modern tech.
I can understand wanting to reduce distractions, but you can do that with modern tech as well by managing your time with distracting websites and games. Although in my case I have ADHD so I have issues with that, but meds have helped a bit with it.
Also I guess this post comes off as telling you to always buy the newest and best thing, but that's not true. y issue isn't with people using old tech, my issue is using tech that you know will be frustrating to use. I use a laptop from 2018 and it's perfectly fine for me, but if I got a 2012 laptop it would probably lag and be a pain to use. But a phone from 2024 and a phone from 2025, or even 2020, are basically the same experience, so in that case I agree people should think twice before upgrading.
