This is why I see the game to be a tech addict simulator. When the use of a computer or any electronic device is basically required in a majority of the career options.

I know! it's almost like real life! How odd! (sarcasm, yes).

In real life a majority of jobs DO NOT require a computer. I know the employment opportunity which I currently am schooling for does not. Even jobs that should not require one have daily tasks which make it seem they require it.

Many modern jobs does not require a PC at work. True.
However, a modern cash register IS a computer. A modern car is controlled by a computer. And so on.
Yes, if you are a concrete pourer and make your living that way (it requires a lot of skill to be good at it) then no, you do not require to use a computer at all, probably.
But that job does not exist in the Sims. The fact that you have to use your computer for "homework" is, however realistic.
Also, again, if you want to roleplay bygone eras in the Sims it wasn't made for that. It is not a valid complaint. At all. It's like complaining you can't be a stock broker in a 20th century family in Skyrim, or why you can't roleplay as a medieval peasant in Mass Effect.

Anyway, welcome to reality. I don't know what country you live in (for sure, but the username is a clue :) ), but all countries I live in or near are virtually 100% digital.

• You pay your bills online, or have them auto-paid for you (by signing up on the Bank's homepage and telling them to, of course).
  
• You do your taxes online.
  
• You do most of your shopping (for non food items) online.
  
• Virtually all visual media is digital and accessed online.
  
• You manage (if you are unfortunate) your unemployment online.
  
• You apply for jobs online.
  
• You book trips and movie tickets online.
  
• You might even book tables for restaurants online.
  

• You use your phone for talking your friends.
  
• You use your phone for TEXTING your friends.
  
• You (can) use your phone to pay for things (actual physical credit cards are on the way out).
  
• You use your phone to ask for directions.
  
• You use your phone to follow the news.
  
• You use your phone to listen to music.
  
• You use your phone to take pictures.
  

And so on. This is just scraping the surface. If anything, the fact that you CAN use the mailbox for so many things in Sims 4 is becoming VERY unrealistic.
