What is a modern technology that you will never use?

Although we say it that technology is revolutionizing the world, there are some tech that we just do not agree with and we find it hard to use them. 
 

What tech do you find it hard to use?

Personally, while I appreciate technological innovation, I tend to avoid virtual assistants that gather extensive personal data. The invasive data collection practices and constant surveillance inherent in some of these systems conflict with my strong preference for digital privacy.

While I use an iPhone and iPad  I will never use a Mac. I prefer a computer. That said I will also NEVER use a fucking dell. They are the most worthless piece of shit excuse for a computer. I’ve had to fix hundreds of them in the past, which is why I won’t insult myself by owning one.

And for those who would say a Mac is a computer, it’s similar. It’s like comparing a truck to a motorcycle. While they can do the same thing, they are not the same thing.

I also forego all social media with the exception of YouTube.

I am careful about the type of personal information that I share on the internet. It is necessary that everyone is careful of how they share their personal details to avoid it being used against them in the future.

Facts. Why would I want to be spied on by Amazon/Google for 24 hours a day. Nope, I'm definitely not getting one of those things.

This actually touches me since I am an ardent user of Dell. What part of it do you repair often? I have been using only Dell computers for decades and I cannot even bring myself to use any other product.

The entire thing. Often, it's cheaper to just get a whole new PC. But those that are stuck in a dell bubble, but they're the worst excuse for a computer that I’ve ever seen.
