I am 38. I find technology overwhelming and there’s a limit to what I would keep, and what I would like to never have been invented.

Growing up, I’d always compared myself to my friends. As a child, I was painfully aware of the differences between myself and my classmates – socially, I struggled to make friends, but academically I was performing well above my age group.
