@CapitalB That mainly depends on whose rules you want to live by.

You can pay in cash or use your credit card or mobile wallet. You can keep a paper journal with phone numbers and notes and your personal todo lists. Or you can put it to the cloud, and trust some company to both retain your data and keep it secret.

You can also engage in more hobbies and pastimes that do not require an internet connection. Read books made out of paper. Play classic consoles. Your time is more yours when you do. Either you need your daily dose of doomscrolling or you can watch your plants thrive while watering them.

It's a choice.
