I don't think any human being can live without technology. Our pre- and near- human ancestors were inventing and using essential technologies long before we came on the scene. No modern human being (and by that I mean the type of primate that appeared about 250k years ago, our species) has ever lived without technology. That is what makes a refusal to embrace new technologies such an odd behavior for a human being. Technology is embedded deep within us, it is what makes us us. My dogs can do any non-technological tasks better than I can.
