The question is a bit theoretical but quite serious - and maybe even somehow important!
Therefore, thank you for serious answers.
Many things in life today (and probably even more so in the future) are influenced, controlled, and so on by the modern media.
My question therefore: If one - quite concretely - the mobile phone, the computer, laptop and devices of this type would abolish / unsubscribe, then you could still cope?
I mean NOT all the possibly over-drunk "Gedaddel" with "friends", the experimenting with some weird apps or superfluous clips to look at, but the normal everyday life.
Banking, government, shopping, all these things more.
And! Many here obviously understand such a question as a rating (does the vulture know why that is?) Might be the reason for another question) and respond accordingly.
That's not what I'm here for!
The question is: can one dispense with all these devices and still meet the requirements of the present - and future - life (a little unfortunate formulation, I know, but I just do not have a better one).
So privately, I could do it without any problems. Even though it would certainly be more complicated and lengthy.
But that does not work. I import goods from China. This is a bit difficult by letter.
Thank you for your answer.
I had to smile because it reminds me of a long-ago process. At that time, we bought a photo film in Japan and then you.a. To be transported via the Trans-Siberian railway. That was, then still analogous (mid-eighties), a real action, but has finally worked out.
I once tried to get a container of goods from the east coast of China to Moscow for a customer by train. There are train routes enough. But that was such a Oddysee and was the bottom line with the delays then twice as expensive as to bring the whole thing by ship from China to Hamburg and from there with the trailer (part of the train, part of the truck) to Moscow. NEVER AGAIN. Even if the distance over the Transsib would be much shorter.
Wow! Thanks for this anecdote.
With us that worked out at the time, the costs were - also because the slides were much cheaper, but of good quality -. Manageable.
Abe it really took.
I think so. Some things might be more complicated and would feel like deterioration when the 'little helpers' go away. Especially when purchasing consumer goods, one has become accustomed in recent times to a lot of amenities that would eventually be eliminated.
Of course, hindering the removal of digital media is hardly possible. Where do you start, what falls away, what remains?
I myself refused, for example. Complete this cell phone craze. I have never owned a cell phone and feel absolutely no need, either by everyday needs, or by the desire to play, to communicate sectarian communication with others to bind me such a scourge to the leg. That actually works. I'm on the road, I'm just not reachable. The rescue service must be accessible. But I do not…
In general, I'm technically a conservative person. Of course, I use a PC for various work and also for the Internet. But I would not die if I saw the weather report at startup and I could not read any trivial politics seizure on my browser's homepage.
Humans are in a position to procure the required or desired information themselves and their own initiative. Of course, it does not have to be a journey back to the Analog Stone Age, but I lean far out of the window, claiming that it would be good for humanity in the medium to long term if every cell phone in the world were gone overnight.
