Modern "smart phones" are simply miniature computers that happen to have a built in mobile phone. If you appreciate and use a computer you'd probably enjoy a smart phone as well if you gave it a chance. They're not hard for anyone to use for most needs, in fact they're easier and much more enjoyable to use than regular cell phones because they operate far better. You may be doing yourself a great disservice by shunning them. Motorcyclists who travel long distances should especially appreciate them, they can provide you with more valuable services than anything else you may carry. You'll have no real idea how much until you own one.

There is always some resistance to new technology. People once shunned telephones, cars, radios, cameras, televisions, and of course computers. Now most of us own more than one of each. Don't put yourself at a disadvantage, if you don't yet own a smart phone at least give one a try. You won't regret it and you'll never go back to a "dumb" cell phone.

Thanks for your comment. Truth is I'm not one to shy away from technology. It's so much simpler than that....in my case. It would mean I'd have to have reading glasses with me 24/7...That, would be a pita. Seriously! That said. Your post has caused me analyze my decision to not GO smart. :thumbup:

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Guess what. Cord boards were still in operation when I began my career with the telephone company. Not to mention the 5 party lines on bird wire(unshielded/bare wires). I R OLD.

It's so funny you should mention glasses. When I first got my smart phone I couldn't see the screen because I hate to carry glasses around with me. But the phone was so useful I finally gave in and started using them. It changed my life. I could see my speedometer, my GPS, I knew what I was buying when I went to the store, I could read restaurant menus, my watch, and stopped handing my son 20 dollar bills when I meant to give him a ten. Isn't technology wonderful?

That's funny!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: And, appropriate. Guess I need to accept that trying to avoid ONE thing is causing me to miss out on so much more. Thanks for the wake up call.
