When I am out of touch I want to be out of touch. I don’t want to hear people whining at me,”Why didn’t you answer your phone? I was trying to call you!”

I haven't had a land-line phone since 1998 and I often don't take calls if I don't feel like talking. Prior to that, I let my caller ID "screen" my calls. And before caller ID, it was my answering machine. Remember those days?

Yeah, it seems these days no one answers phones unless they are stuck in traffic. Or see that it’s super important by who is calling.

I have only a land line. I have a 40+ year old “Princess phone” on a 25 foot cord. It does not have caller ID. It does not take pictures. I cannot block a call. I just hang up.

I cannot scan. Computer is over 28 years old & computer operator is 50 years older than the computer. I use my Fax machine enough to never wish to be without it. Am not going to ‘upgrade all my electronics at ANY price.
