Being 'environmentally conscious' I feel bad using computers of all sorts.
Me, I use a laptop and Ipad very happily. .
Nice contradiction

It is true. Rare Earth metals mined in a destructive way, using ultra cheap labour in the Far East, built in the same place with similar labour. Lasts only a couple of years, then ends up somewhere where the environment is their least concern...
But then I also feel (a little bit) bad about driving vehicles with engines with many equine units, guzzling liquid hydrocarbons. Not much bad feel though, not much.
At least the vehicles were built by a wellpaid, proud workforce.
Actually most here ask for my phone number. Email has been obsolete for a decade or so.Almost every place we visit ( shopping) in the US ask that at the till.
We just say ‘we are visiting tourists’........
I'm happy enough with technology that helps me but pretty stubborn about people harvesting my details just so they can spam me with marketing junk.
Like buying something from Halfords, Machine Mart, and Screwfix. I get the "Whats your email address?" question, to which my answer is either "You don't need it" or just plain "No".
Screwfix staff really struggle with it and I don't mind waiting while they work their system out, they say " You'll need to keep your reciept to return a defective item".
Oh really, like the reciept I need to keep to show my accountant anyway?
Went on a local ghost walk tonight for a bit of fun. Three people were walking about with their phones in their hands staring into them as we walked about. The crazy thing was.... they were not teenagers! They must have been in their 30s or early 40s. Aaargh! Why????
