Thread: Anyone here with no cell Phone?

I had 1 of the first cells to be had in a big rig. It made me money scheduling work when I couldn't get near a land line. I had 1 on my bass boat so I could fish and still not miss work. All that went away and I got a job where I wound up carrying 2 talkie phones. Now I have a smart phone and don't use much more than the computer,camera,gps parts of it. I like to push a couple of buttons and speak into it only to have a map pop up and give me directions to the nearest fuel.

I have only spoken into one of those evil devices one time. I was at a perfectly good cookout when a buddy's cell rang. He answered and handed it to me saying, "It's for you." Someone I really didn't want to talk to knew I was there and called my friend's phone with a totally inconsequential question that could have waited until I saw that person the next day. I am constantly amazed at the number of people who wander around with one of those devices hanging from their ear. It's like they are saying, "Look how important I am. I can't afford to miss a single call." Excuse me while I return to my cave and beat my tom-tom to get the attention of the guy who lives in the cave over the next ridge.

All of my posts on here come from my mobile phone, through Tap a Talk. It's handy for contacting people abroad over skype and whatsapp and far cheaper than other methods. With this said, I do despair at the snapchat addicts who seem to gain osmotic nourishment from sending banal selfies to each other and socially exclude a more interesting real world.
