Just curious on what technologies everyone here uses or relies on.
-The only tie to the grid I have at my place is water, but no electricity/septic system/trash service. I don't use a smartphone either. I find them to be a big cause of lack of communication and distraction in modern society. Some people can't even sit at the supper table without using them, let alone walk into another room of the house without it glued to their hand or jammed in their pocket. Society has even resorted to smartwatches which is just a miniature phone on their wrist. Addiction is all I can see.
-One thing I've started implementing a bit more is using candles for light instead of my handy Olight that I carry everywhere. I find that candlelight is much more pleasant to read with.
-Right now I'm using a desktop at my grandmother's house so I reckon I'm cheating a little bit. I also will use one of the desktops at the public library sometimes.
-I have considered one day adding solar panels so I can use a deep freezer but that'll be a little ways down the road.
