One technology I can live without

Daily writing prompt
What technology would you be better off without, why?

That would be e-books.

I do read e-books occasionally such as Kindle versions and I find them useful at times.

However, as a 90s kid, I still prefer the experience of reading a physical book, in a more analog style. There is something uniquely satisfying about highlighting meaningful lines, feeling the texture of the pages, and physically turning them as you read.

There is also a certain charm in the little games we can play with physical books—such as opening to a random page and seeing who finds more characters on their page, or who lands on the earliest alphabet. Those small, tactile moments are part of what makes hardcopy reading so special.
