Because this topic came up in c/technology and I was wondering.

Would this be feasible? How bad would it be to your social life?

I’m looking for these scenarios:

  1. No smartphone, but have a dumbphone and a computer

  2. No phone at all, but have a computer

  3. No smartphone, but have a dumbphone, no computer

  4. Nothing at all

    The difference is that, compared to before, a lot of services have shifted from interfacing with a human to interfacing with technology in some way. The ability to interact with a human in person may not be available or will have additional costs.

    Same with using cash. A lot of places have become card only because it is cheaper to pay 3% processing fees than to handle the labor costs of dealing with cash, especially in a larger organization.
