For me personally, I never even <i>desired</i> one to begin with for the purposes it&#x27;s actually used in practice (social media and the miscellaneous service).<p>My line of reasoning went in that I&#x27;m buying a general-purpose computing device that has been deliberately constrained to make it as undesirable as possible to actually <i>use</i> like a general-purpose computing device. Why would I want it, when I have a perfectly good IBM PC-compatible&#x2F;Wintel box at home? For telephony purposes, I&#x27;ve always used dumb cells running some Java ME bare-bones interface or similar. And so I continue to do. It&#x27;s not like I get cravings to check my feeds if I&#x27;m away for a few hours.<p>On the other hand, the fact that I also feel no need to use any applications associated with the &quot;sharing economy&quot; probably helps, too.<p><i>Is it even possible to do so working in a tech field?</i><p>Absolutely.
