An I PHONE is something of a misnomer. The device is not so much a phone as a very sophisticated compact computer with a phone ap.
The phone application is for me is not actually used very much. In business, telephones have fallen in to disuse with e amil being preferred. The I phone allows constant real time contact by e mail or voice mail with both clients and the companies they ask me to visit.
The camera and the calculator and flashlight capabilities allow me to leave all those at home. By accessing the cloud on One Drive, I have lots of Specifications and related drawings at hand. Notes ap allows me to buy what I need when I go to Walmart. The Waze ap knows where everything is and directs me right to it even though hundreds of miles away from home. Kayak allows me to reserve a motel or rental car while on the road. and on and on

Well, good for you. I think it’s great when people WANT to keep up but I’m not one of them. I have you beat by a few years and I’m right where I am going to stay - computer and emails and that’s enough for me. I’m glad I learned to use a computer while still working and it fills a lot of my time but still have relatives and friends who refuse to learn/use one. I find myself printing a lot of material to mail to them - LOL!
I told my husband during our power outage from Hurricane Irma I didn’t know where we belong. We’re not in the tech age and we went nuts trying to fish a wick out of an oil lantern when it went down into the oil and frustrated the heck out of us...could get ahold of it but couldn’t get it over a lip in the lantern. We had to laugh even tho’ we didn’t feel like it.
We finally got it out and threaded back through the whatever and I believe the power came on shortly after; after 3 days WITHOUT!! Sure glad I wasn’t born and expected to cross the nation in a wagon train!
