I have a cellular telephone. I only ever use it to make telephone calls, and it spends about 99% of the time turned off in a desk drawer. I had no idea I was so far ahead of the times.

My wife and I got rid of our land line not long after the turn of the century. And now, because we travel a LOT, the map function on those phones is extremely valuable to us. They even work in the Bahamas.

And before I retired I used it for my commute. It allowed me to avoid bad backups on numerous occasions.

There are a ton of other advantages too, but I could go on for hours about how useful smart phones are.

But I don’t do social media.

“I had no idea I was so far ahead of the times.”

Comparing yourself to a leftist democrat artist on NPR ...
