I imagine that is a fairly common reaction among people, given the plethora of stories about data breaches, online fraud, etc. etc. Probably especially so among we Boomers, who came of age and lived as young adults in a totally different reality.
I sometimes think my brother has it right. He lives alone in far Northern Minnesota. No computer. No cell phone. His phone is a land line still in Dad's name (Dad died in 2004). No credit cards. His only two concessions to modernity (semi-modernity) are a checking account and satellite TV.
As he is fond of saying "just because you're paranoid does NOT mean that they're not out to get you".
