No phone, no watch, no problem: should we all be more like Severance's Christopher Walken?
Briefly

Christopher Walken, starring in the series 'Severance,' maintains a lifestyle devoid of modern technology, relying solely on a satellite dish and DVDs sent to him. At 81, he has never owned a cellphone or even a watch, demonstrating a stark contrast to society's deep reliance on gadgets. His approach raises questions about our collective obsession with technology and whether navigating life through devices is genuinely beneficial. Walken's perspective serves as a reminder of alternative lifestyles free from the demands and distractions of technology.
I don’t have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I have seen Severance on DVDs that they're good enough to send me.
It's one thing shunning technology invented during your middle age, but quite another to shun things that were invented more than a century before you were born.
Perhaps we should admit to ourselves that Walken has got it right. The great hand-wringing debate of the day is whether or not we are too in thrall to technology.
We get jumpy if we leave our phones out of sight for more than 30 seconds, because they dictate our lives.
