Amish Streak

I have what I like to call my Amish streak.  Despite my all my years in the high-tech world and my time spent during the heart of the dot-com rush in Silicon Valley, I'm just not into electronic toys.  I do not own a TV (by choice).  I have no Internet on my cell phone.  I still use what basically amounts to a wireless DSL speed line on my home connection.  And you know what?  I'm perfectly fine with all of that.  I don't need a Crackberry or an Iphone to organize my day.  My Franklin Day Planner system on paper, which I've been using now for almost 20 years, suits me just fine.  No land line telephone either.  And what's nice for me about observing Shabbat is once a week for a full day + 1 hour period, I don't even have to deal with any of the gadgets I do happen to have.  I can just shut everything down for that entire period.  Oh, and I still willfully take out borrowed physical books from the local library.
