There is no need for you to use Dictation. Turn it off.
For that matter, don't use the App Store. Apple collects personal information there too.
Don't use iTunes. Same thing.
Don't use email. Especially Google Mail. Do not use Google at all. Better not use any search engine.
Turn off cookies in your browser. Cookies are used for all sorts of intrusive reasons. Never shop online.
Don't use the iPhone. Don't use any phone. Never sign up for supermarket bonus points. Better not use their barcode scanner either. Don't pay with credit cards, and if you have a job be sure to get paid in cash. Never mind that - gold bullion.
Don't go anywhere there may be a security camera, which means don't go near an airport, train station, subway, bus stop, tall building, or drive on any highways or go over any bridges. Definitely don't use EZ-Pass. Don't have a driver's license at all.
Don't purchase a home, and don't rent one either. Don't buy medical insurance - oops, that's illegal now.
Good luck living in the 21st century.
