Is ditching phones after work cool or unfair? If jobs need us online all day, is ignoring tech in free time like saying "I'm better"? Does saying no to tech, like video games, outside work make others feel bad? Are we pretending the past was perfect? What do you think? #TechBalance #TechShaming #NostalgiaTrap #AdultGaming #DiscussionStarter

If someone says they don't use tech outside of work, does it make you feel judged? Why or why not?

Do you think there's a subtle pressure to 'disconnect' even if you enjoy using technology?

Is it fair to look down on someone for using technology for fun, like playing games or watching videos?

Share an experience where you felt judged for either using or not using technology.

@MartinGuay

My last three cell phones each lasted me 7 years or more. I am always "behind the latest tech".

I often get razzed for being in the stone age. Especially when I clung to my Blackberry until the phone network no longer supported it.

@snacktraces I believe it.

I often see people working in tech, having no tech at home or the ability to up their skills to be future-proof. I also see many adults giving hell to others for playing video games saying it's for kids only. Some studies indicate that video games keep adults engaged, and cognitive, increase dexterity, and help all sorts of facets of life. Many adults say, "You're stupid for playing video games" not realizing the benefits. Why is #TechShaming so big?
