Some tech-free celebs are recovering tech addicts. Tyra Banks told New York Times Magazine that her BlackBerry habit caused her physical pain. She has since gone low-tech and jots her thoughts in a notebook.
Technophobia, of course, extends far beyond cell phones.
Christopher Walken and David Sedaris don’t use cell phones or e-mail. Simon Cowell says he doesn’t know how to work a computer. President Bush was lampooned in 2006 for saying he uses "the Google" to look at maps of his Texas ranch. He reportedly doesn’t use e-mail for fear that his messages might be subpoenaed. Recently, however, his 84-year-old father, George H.W. Bush Sr., said that he enjoys emailing.
Paul McCartney has admitted he doesn’t know how to use ATMs and prefers writing letters over e-mail for "aesthetic" reasons. Elton John is nostalgic for the low-tech vibe of the 1970s. The singer frequently talks about the Internet’s stifling effect on community and creativity and even suggested to U.K. paper The Sun that the Internet be shut down for five years to spark better quality art and music.
Technophobia isn’t simply generational.
Some young celebrities strive to be tech free, too. Thirty-one-year-old Orlando Bloom has revealed that he doesn’t email or own a computer, because he "just [doesn't] want to deal with it."
So here we are… it’s like every good thing in life, you must know how and when to use it but not abusing it. Technology and social tools of all sorts should be used to facilitate relationships but not be the only way of life or business communication. If you only rely on one aspect of communication, personal life or business will simply be disconnected from the real world and from the ultimate end results.
Common! Pick up the phone, don’t be scared…talk or meet someone, it’s good for you.
