I have a little dumb phone. Everyone asks why I don’t get a smart phone. I tell them I don’t want one and I don’t need it.

SmartMom. I just start using an old nonactivated Galaxy 6 for taking pics of the garden, and can connect to the Internet with it, and so i may try to use Google voice with it. However, with my arthritic stiff fingers I have a hard time just using a computer keyboard, and thus trying to type into the phone is much harder. But thank God for what we can do.

“I thought texting would be easier on a smartphone than on a flip phone, but I still find it to be agonizingly slow. “

Use voice.

“I hate text crap as trying to reply requires using the numeric keypad and up to 4 button presses for some letters.”

Smartphones have. full virtual keyboard.

No one asked you anything about iFag smartphones.

The comment was about regular cell phones if it was not obvious.

Nick Carr is one of those observers who write about tech but do not understand it or how it works.
