I’m with you. During the year I count the number of times I say to myself, “Gee, I really, really wish I had a cell phone right now.” I have said that if I get more than five times like that I will consider a cell phone. Hasn’t happened yet.
I get a kick out of my friends who are addicted to their phones. Checking the stock market every 10 minutes, etc.
Some of the cell phones comprise health risks through radiation. Too many users have contracted tumors in the ear area, not to notice.
I imagine you must have simple lives with no dependents or loved ones counting on you, or whom you wish to keep tabs on. Everywhere I am, I can receive communication about my minor children. What I find unnecessary are land line phones because I’m never sitting by one. I need to know if my driving child is in trouble and if my child got sick at preschool.
Communication can save lives and prevent danger. I lived before cell phones but it’s not a “newfangled crazy thing” to me. It’s an amazing bit of tech I don’t want to be without.
