There’s nothing “dumb” about a flip phone. I ditched my smart phone years ago for security reasons and realized the current flip phone can still access the internet and text among other things. It’s just that it is not as easy to do with a flip phone, but I never use those features anyway.
I’m also not one that has to receive a text or call every 5 minutes in order to maintain my mental health. Seriously, a shrink told me a few years ago that she treats young clients that get clinically depressed if they do not receive texts every so often.
Three things annoy the hell out of me regarding cell phones:
1. Some jerk stopping a check out line in a store because he’s on the phone.
2. A jerk texting while driving, staying stopped at a stop sign or swerving all over the road.
3. The other is a person on the phone in a public place talking in an elevated voice so the whole store can hear what’s said.
Smart phones can never overcome stupid people. That is why we need the Cyborg 9 Series HKs.
Yes, that’s what we’ve found in our research. I use ‘dumb’ simply because that’s what people call them to distinguish from the fancy cell phones. They have cameras, search the web, and we found one that uses Alexa.
The people calling and texting while driving really anger me. I don’t understand how people become so addicted to the device that they just can’t wait until they park.
When cell phones first came into general use, it was weird to be in a store or on the street and hear people apparently talking to themselves...
