I See You Are A (B)logger, And Not A Common Bum

We are between generations. Those who went before us often did it without learning to text, blog, email, and all forms of whatnot. Those who follow us don't have the word "phonograph" in their vocabulary; some have never seen, much less used, a dial phone.
In college, I thought:
1) I would never have any money, so financial planning/theory was a waste of time;
2) I would not become dependent on technology.
As to the first, I do have a little now, and hope to use it up during whatever life I have left.
As to the second, I honestly do not know to what extent I can cut the wires. Most of my work and entertainment involves electrons coursing through copper. Hmm.
So, the questions this time are:
What is you level of technology?
What is your level of dependence?
