These days, our smartphones can do it all.
“Track my sleep, track my workouts,” said David Dahan of Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
“I use it a lot for mobile banking,” added Megan Killea of Philadelphia.
“Snapchat,” laughed Alicia Dyson of North Philly.
Gone are the days when phones are used to simply talk or text. But, what if we could go back to just that?
“Disconnect for a while, stress-free,” said Patrice White.
Christina Colon of Brooklyn, New York wasn’t so sure. “I don’t think I’d be able to function going back,” she said.

Love my dumbphone. I have a computer if I want to go online.
ReplyDeleteWhen the phone is smarter than me it has to go.I went back to my old flip phone and I couldn't be happier.
ReplyDeleteI still am using my samsung slider phone. I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteI want a phone to make phone calls with. What's so hard about that? Also, maybe text occasionally, but that's all.
ReplyDeleteI still don't understand why anyone wants to surf the web on a little screen. It's way too much scrolling. And it uses too much data on your phone which makes your bill more expensive. I have a smart phone which I can use for talking or texting and I can look at the internet on it if I wanted, but I seldom do. $48 per month. I hear people talking about their ridiculous cell phone bills & can't believe the amounts they pay.
ReplyDeleteI always had a flip phone and liked it. When it stopped being able to take pictures is when my wife bought me a smartphone. I despise a phone in the first place. I would rather text than talk on a phone and even texting gets to be too much at times.
ReplyDeleteAnd then with all the phone scams nowadays, more reason not to answer. If I don't recognize the number chances are it will go to voicemail.
First sign of being a old fogey-complaining about new technology, lol.
