Being constantly connected

I do not have any smart devices other than PC's. Our phone is a simple flip phone. I have been resisting portable technology for quite some time-partly because I got burned out on technology with my vocation. Also trying to keep it working correctly takes time which there is only so much of so I guess it comes to priorities. I finally put my finger on it. I don't want to be connected all the time and have the obligation to constantly respond to texts, etc. I also have a distrust of social media. Does that make a hermit? I think most of us here remember life before mobile devices and the internet. Sure they have their usefulness and when we start traveling I will have one. But it's going to be turned off when I'm not using it.
EDIT- I guess it has to be balanced with family, friends etc but all ours know they call or email.
