The post you are reporting:
The thing is that the tech has become an extension of our personalities, lifestyles, and forms of expression, so it is actually very difficult to even consider giving it up. The web is used for leisure and work, it's reasonably cheap to maintain, and amid the Facebooks and Amazons there are also People per Hour type websites, emails, and stuff to do from work. Same with phones and gadgets. Whether it is morally right or wrong isn't for me to say but the gadgets are very much a part of the tools that define us these days. Giving up your iPod Touch is probably as bad as giving up your left hand. It stores your music, video files, emails, notebooks, organisers, address books, web surfing, apps, games, spreadsheets, and so on. A bit much to lose in one go!
I can totally understand why people won't give up their tech - these days, tech is hugely personal and plays a big part in life.
