I don’t use cellphones. The “woo-woo” waves (EMP’s) fry
brains AND they are like talking into an Oreo cookie. I
can’t listen on one and talk at the same time. I use the
phone in the house if I have to; but I’m losing my voice.
Allergic to Cattbutt and stay hoarse. Can’t get shed of
Cattbutt; so I just croak like a frog.

I don’t fit into modern times. FANG had one of the early
cellphones that took up a whole seat on the car passenger
side. So, I either shared a seat with that phone or else
stayed home & worked typing stuff. Not many had cellphones
back then. Now, EVERYBODY has one & they sneak up behind
you at the grocery store yakking; and you answer them
thinking they asked you a question.

People who repair stuff like I do, can enter the model number and problem into Google and find a wealth of information regardless of how new or old the item might be. Many repairman (people) share on forums not unlike FreeRepublic that might be more topic limited, but you get the same good feeling about the folks you find there.

The free sharing of knowledge and experience is breathtaking and very powerful, but it's funny you mentioned the folks who just can't emerge into the real world.

Many people in foreign and uncomfortable environments will pretend to be talking on their phone for the security of being connected to someone else. I've actually done that myself. Security is important in dangerous areas and even if it's false, who's to know?

There's much to like and much to dislike about our world of smart cell phones. But it's the world we're in. Or at least some of us.
