It's really a judgement call on whether you are ready to let technology pass you by, or not.
Either choice is fine.
For example, my Dad never used email. The fax machine was the latest, hip, communication advancement that he ever embraced. He's tried to carry a cell phone, but really has no idea how to make a call.
Funny thing is, he was always a technologist.
So, he's only 76 years old. Fax machine came out en mass, in what, '85/'86/'87?
By '87, my Dad was successfully self employed in a growing business.
Point being, he would not be employable by anyone else without embracing emails, cell phones, etc.
Regarding the driving/cell phone usage, in my mind, it's a no brainer. The laws should be strict against it.
