So much of this surveillance could be avoided if we didn't get pressurised into electronic everything.

I don't even use email nor carry a phone anymore.

It is bliss, you should try for even one day — nothing to ring/ping/buzz.

When I watch people's addiction to these things, it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of inhumanity. Are you really even free?

Over the past years, my city has started only collecting street meters via phones... so I just stopped paying (no method to do so via cash [nor CC]). With fines, it still averages out...
