RESULTS!
Mostly A's
Yeah, it seems you could live without modern technology. Are you perhaps from a rural area and used to country/rural living?

Mostly B's

You're in the middle, but you need your modern technology and gadgets. However, you could go longer without them and use them less than mostly C scorers!


Mostly C's

You need your modern technology every single day! So what? We all need some form of technology to survive don't we?





If you find yourself in the situation like where you have 7 B's and 7 C's for example you can judge whether the mostly B or C description fits you better.

  7. Great job everyone! Its very cool to see the differences and the similarities. So, from your old teacher's perspective, I got:

    A - 4
    B - 8
    C - 2

    Definitely somewhere in the middle. I am also the person who loves when the power goes out so I can pull out the old candles...I love and "need" my computer/internet, but could get by without any other technology, yes even a cell phone (gasp!!)
