I'm a Luddite with computers, and I'm slightly worried about being hacked as well.
I really worry about everything going to the cloud.
I'm trying to get through life without really knowing about computers, but I don't know if I am going to make it.
The effort of every time I put out a video, it was like, 'Okay, I've got to put it on my Facebook, I've got to put it on my website, what's the view count now? What's the view count now? What's the view count now?' You get obsessive with it.
The spread of communications technologies - social media, TV news channels - aggravates societal divisions and discord. All that online snarling is making us jittery.
I am the biggest technophobe of all time.
You know, I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because... well I guess I'm afraid to.
My phone is trying to kill me. It is a battery-charged rectangle of disappointment and possibility. It is a technological pacifier.
If the Internet went down or there was no telly I would be 'oh no, oh no.'
I love social media, but it made me quite anxious.
When I get online, there's this cycle of anxiety and narcissism that takes over, which is the part of me that I like the least.
I'm really rubbish with technology; I'm super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends. I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time - I really hated that idea.
I feel conflicted about my relationship with social media.
I am from the age of magazines, so the Internet is terrifying to me. But I am learning.
I'm scared of the Internet. That's not real, but it is. I'm worried about what it's doing to us.
As fabulous as technology is, it can also make us very anxious.
Checking email every 45 seconds is not only compulsive, it's presumptuous. It suggests a belief that anyone who sends us a message needs us to read it immediately, even if the message is from SkyMall telling us our Bigfoot Garden Yeti statue has shipped.
I'm developing a mild rash at the idea of "plugging" anything, because it's not how I roll.
The faux now of Twitter updates and things pinging at you - all the pulses from digitality that we try to keep up with because we sense that there's something going on that we need to tap into - are artifacts, or symptoms of living in this atemporal reality. And it's not any worse than living in the 'time is money' reality that we're leaving.
Social media is a huge struggle for my generation in general - it's a lot of pressure! Even having an Instagram is stressful. You have to make it look cool, posting it at the right time, and it's become its own job and not something where you connect with people.
I'm a bit of a chicken when it comes to seeing potentially horrifying things on the Internet.
Technology still freaks me out a bit.
If I compared myself to my kids, they know everything, and they're like small little hackers. I feel also that my identity can be stolen; I'm very paranoid about it compared to other people in the younger generation.
Texting is incredibly anxiety-laden, but I know people who will have a full-blown panic attack if you call them. I'm one of those nightmare humans where the little mailbox has an ellipsis on it because I have 1000 unread emails. So texting is the most immediate yet least anxious of all the incredibly anxious ways that we talk to each other.
Sometimes I have problems where I get into a mode where even just looking at a page on a screen makes me panic. And getting past that is a really intense thing to do.
