I have tried to teach this, to my daughter for years. I don't use Facebook or Twitter, and haven't in years. I housed MySpace for quite awhile to keep up with other brothers and sisters from the military, and some family in other states. I haven't used the big tech platforms in 3 or 4 years or longer. I do not use google, never used Apple, and have never used Amazon accounts. I did have an Amazon fire stick for a week, on loan when my roku took a shit, but only until I grabbed a new roku. I try not to support that stuff, and prefer to call or text people I wanna speak with. She has done alot better this past year, and as of yesterday...she's fully getting it.
I'm slowly converting the others around me. They aren't interested in the privacy aspects that I crave. So I say "Our time is limited. I want to be present. I want to look you in the eye. That's all that matters in the end."
I actually caught some off guard with that. They slowly put their phone down and got misty eyed.
