I despise the modern phones and internet

It’s strange that I’ve posted this same thing on a couple of my social media outlets, all of which have received likes and positive feedback and INTELLIGENT discussion (and not a single sniff of “you’re ranting”)

I feel EEVblog has an infestation of toxic, angry, insular loners with no outlet except to attack people with whom they don’t agree.

Sorry you don’t agree “tooki”. No one expects or asks you to. Now if you have nothing better to do, then at least for your own self worth and dignity, drop out and find a better use for your time. If you prefer to stay and talk piffle, please, be my guest.

For me, the only reason I bought a smartphone is for GPS & navigation.
I like to hike in the mountains and I use an app called OsmAnd with maps preloaded,
so no need for internet connection in the mountains.
If not, I would switch immediately to a dumbphone.

What makes me angry is that more and more bank and state services require some app for authentication.
I hate that. So far I could escape using a physical token and sms authentication but I fear the day will come
that every citizen will need a smartphone. It's really crazy when you think about it.

It's funny, I have the exact opposite opinion.  A great deal of people on this forum, who shall remain unnamed, have strong views reminiscent of the Luddites.  If we were listening to these people we'd still be using horses to pull carts.  It's really odd to me that engineers would be so critical of the very field they are often involved in, you don't hear too many medical doctors arguing for leeches and trepanning still.
EEVblog:
Eti, you and Tooki should just add each other to your ignore list.
Cut it out.
If this continues the thread gets locked.

Thanks. How do I do that?
