I have a brother who is a bright guy–but he hates technology. I don’t really know why or even how to describe it, but he just always prefers to avoid technology. He has an analog watch and an old non-digital camera. He uses a real alarm clock instead of an iPhone. And now he’s telling … Read more
I’m looking to go into business, and my major and my class schedule reflect that.
