I'm 82. I refuse to get one. If I'm out and about, I'm on MY TIME...It's not like I'm going to be gone all day....it's a trip to the dumpster and a couple stores...and maybe the bank.

Did anyone ever think that maybe folks are doing a little better at planning. Why not look into the contraceptives available...and purchased. Like....duh...

I'm 72 and I can't imagine life without my iPhone. If I need something, I use it to order from Amazon instead of going to the store. If I need to deposit a check I use remote deposit instead of going to the bank. I get real time alerts from my credit card company which means I can be alerted to a fraudulent charge as it happens. I can set the temperature in my house by accessing the thermostat, meaning I come home to a warm house. I can open my garage door from anywhere in the world, which came in handy when my wife lost her key. All my appointments and reminders are stored in my calendar app. I can take pictures and videos. If I'm out of cell phone range I can use the SOS feature and text someone via satellite. There are a lot more reasons to have a smart phone. You can even make a telephone call with one!
