Undesirable modern trends

Are you old enough to feel that modern society and technology have left you behind; have created norms that border on social malignancy? Would you like to say to the world "Take your 21st century technology and shove it!" What aspects of life/tech would you most want to restore to older formats?

I have my tools, I have my CB and ham radios and I have my feet. I will die before I will own a damn travailing spying box (I hate them that much)

What if there's an emergency? Car breaks down on the highway

For most of my life, if my car broke down on the highway, I hoped a friendly person would happen along and offer to help. They nearly always do; but actually in a deserted part of the Scottish highlands I once hiked maybe 3 miles to get to a very old inn, to phone for help. They didn't have a phone! But no biggy; 65 years later I'm still around.
