Why I wouldn't move to Equestria

Since the forums in general seems to be obsessed with the idea of living in Equestria, I decided to throw my opinion in. For me, unless if I had the ability to travel back and forth whenever I want, I wouldn't go. This is mostly because of what my skills and hobbies are.

So I teach programming as an occupation. In addition, most of my skills are related to high tech. For example, web design, computer repair, and photo editing. However, such technology does not exist in Equestria. Plus, it seems like it would take quite a while for ponies to adopt to using such technology, especially the part where they have to figure out how to make it work with their hooves. 

Now, I know what you are thinking. What about G5? The pegasi have technology then. The first thing is, so far, G5 doesn't really have the same appeal as G4. (Don't get me wrong, it's still good, and again, I would be interested in visiting, but I wouldn't stay there.) In addition, I still can't get over the fact that the pegasi are able to type on their smart phones when their hooves are half the size of the screen. And if I went as a human, well that would just be weird. 

Then there's the fact that I won't be able to do a lot of my hobbies. For example, if I became a pony there, badminton; Like how exactly am I supposed to hold a racket with hooves? And liking ponies would mean something completely different there. I mean sure, I probably could fanfilly the Mane Six or something. 

Anyways, that's my random ramble on why I wouldn't move to Equestria. (There's probably more points I could make but I can't think of them off of the top of my head.) Feel free to agree with me or convince me otherwise in the comments below.

A lot of people only see the positive side and not the negative side for anything. I would not want to move to Equestria (either G4 or G5) too, no way. Even if I was able to take all of mu stuff with me, it would still suck. A lot. 

Imagine moving to another country IRL, either with or without your stuff and being unable to ever return to your home country. That's what moving to Equestria would be. 

By the way, ponies in both G4 and G5 are quire racist, would they accept a human? OK, let's say you get turned into a pony (which is another issue entirely, for example, I am rather fond of having hands), you would still be an alien to them. 

To be fair, pretty much any fictional universe would be a bad place to live for one reason - any movie or TV show (barring a few pure slice-of-life shows like Lucky Star) would be boring without villains, threat to existence and so on. Would you want to live in a place where some villain tries to take over the world every so often? Just see what the ponies had to endure in the G4 show.
