I guess I should clarify that I am not opposed to new technology, it's just that I don't need a piece of technology for so many situations. Some consider an RV GPS so valuable or important that you have to have it. I do not. Some would probably say you are saving a few bucks (or some time) for something that might save your life but that still doesn't change my mind.
I have a work-issued iPhone and an android for personal phone. I have 3 laptops, 1 desktop, smart TVs, digital photo frames, 2 high end digital cameras, etc. I DO NOT have Alexa or Ring doorbells and things like that. They are a time suck to me (just another thing to deal with programming/fixing/charging/batteries, etc). I hear my daughter say "Alexa turn on the kitchen lights" when she walks in the house. She tells me "well it's helpful when you have your hands full of groceries" - humm ok - but that's not something I would ever want.
I DO, however, have the Nest CO/Smoke detectors because I have had CO leaks two times and my daughter had a very bad CO leak that her Nest detected very early. The firemen were impressed. It was so bad they wouldn't even let her in the house to get her cat for a while. If I'm at work my phone will tell me it is going off so I don't come home to find my animals dead. That is technology that I consider valuable. But everyone has a different definition of valuable and that is totally fine. I'm just trying to get away from so much technology and get back to living because I realize how much time I spend dealing with technology (not necessarily using it but all the other stuff that comes with it).
Hope you all have a great week. Take care, Beth

I dont think anyone said you were against technology and I agree for my travels I dont think I need one. Google maps has worked just fine. at some point I'll get one because I want it not because I need it. I have all kinds of gadgets at the house. Alarm, cameras, ring, wemo, wyze Everything I think that would protect the house when Im gone. I can control all of it from my phone Technology is great but I dont really need a gps now
