Even the techiest tech-lovers still hate on technology. Some are too cool for social media yet are obsessed with Facebook, while others spend hours playing video games but won’t touch Angry Birds. To the haters out there: this one’s for you!

Twitter

What the haters say: “I don’t need to tell the world what I ate for breakfast.”

Why you’ll love it: It’s like a never-ending RSS feed of cool links from people you love. You can even network with people you’d never get to talk to in real life, like celebrities, athletes, and business people.

Foursquare
What the haters say:
 “I don’t need to tell everyone where I am all the time.”

Why you’ll love it: Discounts! Reviews! What’s not to love? Check in, then read insider tips from fellow users and if you’re lucky, the place you’re frequenting may offer a freebie or coupon for Foursquare lovers.

Any phone other than an iPhone

What the haters say: “It’s not an iPhone.”

Why you’ll love it: The iPhone isn’t the only mobile device with cool apps and awesome designs. You can save money and get exclusive benefits (like free BBM-ing on BlackBerry devices), and oftentimes a better camera.
