Actress Shailene Woodley isn't a tech-savvy person and she says that she does not even have a cellphone.

"I'm not a big technology person. I don't even have a smartphone. I don't even have a cellphone," the 23-year-old actress said in a statement.

Woodley prefers a lifestyle without constant intrusion by technology.

"There's a bigger lack of privacy than there's ever been, but there's also a bigger lack of camaraderie and community than there's ever been.

"Since I got rid of my phone, I'm talking to people more than I've ever talked to in my life because I no longer have that crutch. The more you get away from the entire technological buzz, the more freedom you have," she added.

Despite her nature, she has featured in "Divergent", a movie which is based in a futuristic era where the use of gizmos and high-tech gadgets is unavoidable.
