I avoid tech that I don't need. Internet phone, home automation, smart *, iPads (are they even a thing anymore?), Subscription services, games, digital entertainment, etc. For me, a number of reasons. Mostly, I just don't need any of that stuff. I want to be present in the world rather than be at the mercy of constant dopamine hit, shiny, need to be constantly using tech, whatever. Financially, I can't justify the ROI. Morally, ethically, socially and psychologically, I've"seen behind the curtain" of tech and thoroughly reject it. Perhaps my decades in software have just made me bitter and tired.
