Flashlight? Nope. Try hitting someone with a 3D cell Maglite vs. an iPhone. Or try changing your tire lit by your phone. Your cell phone lightis good for finding where your flashlight rolled to.

Camera? Maybe all the times when I've said "I wish I had a camera now", but even a $100 camera with a 10x zoom lens beats any phone. And that's not getting into good cameras.

Yes my old Canon still takes better pictures than my iPhone 8.

1. Address book: Still keep it. Phone stores phone numbers.

2. I have a GPS, AND an atlas of Michigan, AND a compass in the car. Funny thing about the atlas is, it always works.

3. Clock. Still have a clock radio. It wakes me up to weather and local road conditions.

4. I don’t have a proper photo album, but neither does the phone have it. Most are triply backed up, on a hard drive/computer.

5. Camera. A good camera beats a phone.

6. Irrelevant. To m3.

7. The only timer I use is the one on the stove, typically for baking. Why would I use my phone for that?

8. I don’t really use calculators. I do most math I need to do in my head. If I’m dealing with larger numbers, I’m probably doing it on the computer, and the computer will do it for me.

9. I can drop my flashlight on the ground, and it doesn’t care.

Disclosure: I’m 33. I’m a millennial. An old one, but one nonetheless.

Maglites are unbeatable. Either for light or for beatings.
