DennisDennis has a 15-year-old son. He used to be a state insurance examiner and he has since retired. In his free time, Dennis enjoys hanging out with his wife and son, golfing, cooking, and traveling. Based on my interview with Dennis, he was the least reliant on technology. When asked why he is not dependent on technology, he said that there is a generational difference between his generation and millennials. Since people in his generation didn't grow up with technology, they aren't as reliant on it.
