You largely can restrict yourself to phone calls and postal mail. Aside from ordering from Amazon, my dad largely does. (Albeit in part because my brother and I will do various things for him he can't figure out how to do with just a phone call or letter.) But it's increasingly difficult for a lot of things and is, at a minimum, less convenient.

And, as you say, in business you generally don't really have the option to basically refuse to use a computer for many purposes.



Saw an elderly lady freaking out at Walmart because they no longer could pay capital one credit card in person with a physical check.


In fairness, paying post-paid bills by check through the mail is still an option for most things. I get most stuff handled automatically and pay most of the rest online through my bank but I still write a fair number of checks either in person or mailed.
