Tech insiders avoid touchscreens and smart homes because they know the downsides
There has to be some word for this concept
It's why designers from tech who design touchscreens like Jony Ive won't put a touch screen in a car but use real knobs
Or why programmers don't actually like smart homes and smart appliances at all but want things analog
Or why tech people raise their kids without mobile devices
Like knowing things so well from inside of it (tech) that you choose to NOT use it because you know the negatives that come with it in specific contexts
