I think i could go back to a land line phone.
What causes me to need a cell phone is to be instantly accessible to customers, which helps me run business or make changes to plan mid day or on the fly.
In the old days, i assume people called into an office headquarters and they dispatched repairmen from there. So you'd have to hang out at the office and then dispatch from that location.
I think smart phones, and possibly the data traffic through the airwaves might be frying our brains or at least disrupting them somehow.
I heard theories that the world did actually end in 2000 and we've been in some kind of alternate multi-verse reality ever since. It does seem like shit got a lot worse with technology. Specifically mobile tech.
I want to go back to a time, or to a distant undeveloped place where i don't have to live near cell phone towers and have people be so enslaved to the things.
I am thinking about getting my customers on routine schedules so that i just come to work at the same time every wednesday or thursday at such such specific time and then there is no need for cell phone communication i just show up at the same time every week and give them updates about what happens the next week.
I am going to start trying to maybe leave my cell phone at home or turn it off and go without it a day or two at a time.
I seem to remember something in the unibomber manifesto about him having some kind of disdain for the technocrat dystopian future. It's been a few years since i read it.
