I can live without a smartphone, considering I don't own one. I could easily live without a tablet (I hardly use mine), or a TV (I've lived without one before).

A computer/laptop is pretty essential though. There's a certain 'connectedness' that's needed. One of my CS classes had me 'disconnect' for a day. Using no technology (not even debit/credit cards, light switches, projectors, anything). Was boring as fuck.

There's a certain baseline convenience I think people have grown adapted to.
