Whoa! Whats the price of your technology use?
I can't believe how were getting raked over the coals for the use of all the new technology toys we have.
- Cell phones...
- Cable tv...
- Internet...
- WiFi...
- Home phone...
- ADT. security...
- Virus protection...
Hell!. Im retired and it seems like we can't live without this stuff.
When i was a kid it was just a cheap home phone. Now its over $o,ooo.oo a year! Hmmm.... guess.

University WiFi is free, I don't need to pay for electricity, I don't bother with TV (although there is one, licence paid, in the common living area), and my mobile costs 15 pounds a month for unlimited data. Not that much, really... which is a very good thing.

I do not pay for internet access on my tracfone.I also do not have a cellular tablet .I think going on the internet in my house is bad enough .My wife and I have cheap 70 dollar tracfones, and I get minutes for presents so it costs me nothing to operate (no monthly fee) Three family members share a landline .I ditched Netflix and get Amazon movies free with Amazon prime membership.I purchassed an authentic ADT out door security sign fo 20 bucks on eBay so I get free adt security .the burglars don’t know the difference.I do not have Virus protection because I use iPad tablets that are not susceptible to viruses

Yeah, but our phone bill was astronomical because if you called anywhere outside your area they charged an arm and a leg. It’s waaaaay better now. I still remember my grandmother coming up and hanging up the phone while I was talking to my sister in another state. I got mad and she showed me the phone bill. It was nearly $300. This was in the early 80s. That was much more money than it is now.
