That's easy. Just a matter of leaving them off. /s
Seriously, be careful what you wish for! Hw vendors have been trying locking people out of their own devices for decades. Throw in the current trends of big tech and in a dystopian, but possible future you may not be allowed other devices than approved by the powers that be. Russia's Max(?) app, anyone? Or the Chinees counterpart? Different kind of computerless, but there you go.
In other words, this is a self-defeating wish. I hope not many people fall in the trap of adopting this standpoint. Wishing reality away is not a good strategy.
Of course OP may have just attempted sarcasm. Which is fine.
You will have no computer other than the one implanted in you and reporting to your Lord
You, as a biological creature, do not need to be full in on tech. If you want to, then go for it. Have fun. No one is stopping you. To equate not using a tool or product as a disconnect with reality says more about you than me. I'm attempting something here but am not sure what. You'll need to fill me in. "/s" or not "/s", that is the question?
