Ok, but then you've given up on an entire technology set. You haven't avoided Apple and Android, you've avoided the tech entirely.
I have avoided commercial smartphone products entirely, yes, and very much on purpose.
I have not avoided technology in general, not by a long shot.
The statement wasn't "you avoided technology", it was "you avoided the technology".
To be more clear: I have avoided the commercial use of smartphone technology as it exists today, because for me its drawbacks are unacceptable. So, I am not a user of that technology, but I do not oppose the basic principle of mobile, universal, cheap computing and communication.
