My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

When I buy an aplliance or something simple like a speaker I don't want to have to connect it to the web to work properly. I want to just plug it in and use the function I bought it for.
My water heater has wifi. Isn't that the most ridiculous thing you ever heard?? Lol!!
Friend of mine had his house switched to smart lighting without buttons. All controlled via WiFi. Then his WiFi broke. 😂
Lol! At least my heater still functions if the wifi is out. It just allows you to alter the temp remotely.
I'll got a step further and say that I don't want anything to connect to the internet except my computer. And even then I'd prefer if programs didn't try to sync settings or check for updates or anything else without me saying they can use the network.
(I'm in a shrinking minority that doesn't use the internet on their phone. I feel that somehow makes me even more of an old person than my parents...)
