The first drafts of my novels have all been written in longhand, and then I type them up on my old electric. I have resisted getting a computer because I distrust the whole PC thing. I don't think a great book has yet been written on computer.
I am not one of the new media experts working all the time with my computers and the PowerPoints and things of that sort.
I'm not into social media. I'm like from another century.
I've always shied away from computers, the Internet and all that. I'm a bit more traditional, really - pick up a newspaper, pick up a phone.
I am not very comfortable with Facebook and Twitter, and that's why I've kept myself away from such things.
Believe it or not, I'm a bit clumsy with technology. It's probably why I'm so excited about the touchscreen - even an idiot can use it!
By and large, people are sort of technologically averse in the political space.
I'm not a website guy, although I'm not a Luddite, either. I have looked at a computer, but I don't go to PopSugar and Goop and all that.
I'm not a naturally social-media inclined person. I still prefer phone calls to texts/emails. I... hate texts.
I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology.
I'm such a grandma. I don't tweet; I don't have a Facebook page.
I'm a big techphobe. Someone else helps me run my Twitter; I wouldn't be able to trust myself.
I'm not involved on any social media; it's really not my style.
I don't do e-mails.
I definitely have a Luddite's approach to what's going on. I find that as I get older, I get stupider. For me, the iPhone is harder than reading Faust. I've been hanging out a bit with Lou Reed, and he's the complete opposite. He's into technology and is kind of like a toddler, compared to me, who's like an old 19th-century widow or something.
I'm not one of those people that needs to have all of the new gadgets or wants any of that.
I like to speak to my family in person. I get a bad rap because I don't use my phone enough to talk to them, but I do love talking in person, and I don't mind FaceTime, but actually, like, calling and texting, not too big on that.
I have a real aversion to machines. I write with a pen. Then I read it to someone who writes it onto the computer. What are those computer letters made of anyway? Light? Too insubstantial. Paper, you can feel it. A pen. There's a connection. A pen goes exactly at your speed, whereas that machine jumps. And then, that machine is waiting for you, just humming "uh-huh, yes?
I would not describe myself as a super early adopter of consumer technology.
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
But I will just make the slight point here - I have never ever bought anything online. I don't know how to.
I'm a complete technophobe. I can't even email.
I'm such a technophobe.
I am the biggest technophobe of all time.
I don't have an iPod! It's never appealed to me, really.
