I myself have not been using older tech but using the new stuff like old tech. the gaming has slowed down but will probably never stop as long as I have frens to play with, the social media is all but dead save for a few aggregator pages I follow to keep up with some artist that are on twitter. Forums like this one are nice to pop in every other day to see what's being said and I get not a single notification. As for my cellphone, it is doing roughly the same, simply a pocket computer for instant messaging and a manga reader. I am a lot happier for using my tech like this.
I love this sentiment so much!! Using not necessarily only old tech per se but also using new tech in a slower way! It fits with the idea I (and most of us here I think) have that tech is not bad generally, just that there is a dislike for some of the newer developments in UI/UX design!
I really admire what you describe and I think one thing or the other I'll copy for myself hehehe
