I thought I was the only one still using a computer. All the cell phone users look at me like I’m an alien or something.

You’re not alone. I still use computers. Desktop and laptop. I have a flip phone and it is for talking only. Don’t use messaging. Want me to know something, call me. I don’t want a spying ball and chain.

Same here!

What I'd like to know is: How do all these cell phone users print out stuff?

I regularly print out and snail-mail 20-plus-page-long letters to my friends and relatives, maybe including a keepsake or other small present in the envelope - how can one do that with only a cell phone?

Didn't most people in the early 2000s have desktop computers and printers? When they "migrated" to smartphones, didn't they recognize the recklessness of abandoning their printers?

With regards to e-mailing (which I often did in parallel to traditional hardcopy letter-writing), I also noticed a hard drop-off in responses from my friends and relatives around the year 2012.

Could that also be attributed to the ascendancy of cell phones - and the simultaneous foolhardy abandonment of desktop computers?

Didn't people realize how they were handicapping themselves?

None of them has ever "fessed up" and admitted, "Hey, got your lengthy, detail-filled hardcopy letter or e-mail yesterday - but I'll be d*mned if I 'thumb' a reply of comparable length!"

Regards,
