The modern phone is indispensable to men getting a little older like me.
I take pictures as I disassemble anything, instant instructions for putting it back together later.
Driving in a new city, an immediate codriver that knows every street and current traffic conditions.
No time to read a book, listen to it while driving.
Want to show off pics of the new grand kid, new ones constantly available.
Want to figure out what that mountain is?, point the camera at it and a caption pops up over it.
Want to know if you will need an umbrella, weather always available. I don’t need to watch 20 minutes of inane local news heads to get the 2 minutes of weather that I need.
I could go on.
We’re looking at lake lots out in the boonies. First thing I do at each lot is pull out the phone to see if there’s coverage. If not, we keep going. (To be fair, both my Android and my wife’s Apple have to be no coverage.)
I’m smart enough to know if the clouds are ominous, to come in out of the soon to be rain. I took apart the vacuum cleaner yesterday and put it back together without pictures. And it worked. Concentrate on driving rather than zoning off into a book or music. I don’t want pictures of any of the family floating around the internet for pervs to obsess over. A mountain by any other name would be as tall. Denali/McKinley, what’s in a name. I don’t need anything but a cheap old flip phone that’s used maybe twice a year.
