Please don't take them entirely away. Maybe just internet access? 30ish years had to do accounting by hand. In those green ledgers. It took approximately twelve times longer to do it by hand than to do it with a computer. And it made me shrimp like 5 times worse. I needed an architect's table what angled the top of it in order to work properly but I could neither get one supplied by the employer nor afford to give one to the employer.

Not all technology is bad

um, i had one. still have it in a case in the garage, next to my 1950s adding machine that sat in the corner of my cube making me look like a Real Numbers Person Tee Emm.

if i'd known my hood was going to be brown i might have reconsidered.
