OT: Am I the only one who doesn’t have a cell phone?

[Oxford]

In the mid 80’s when cell phones first appeared I thought, “Cool, now we can all be like Dick Tracy”. And then I thought, “What a joke. Like I really want to have people calling me regardless of where I am or what I am doing”. I still feel the same way twenty-five years later. I don’t have one.

How did I get by without a mobile phone for most of my life? Just fine. Was I ever distracted by calls while driving? Nope. Did nagging, lame text messages constantly interrupt my day? Never.

I am in my office at a damn computer most of the day and night and within arms length is a telephone with a wire that connects to the wall. It works great. When I go to the store, or tennis, or just out, nobody is bothering me. Nothing is that urgent that I cannot wait until I get back home.

I can understand that mobile phones are a necessity for many folks, but I am not one of them… and glad of it. Hell, I can hardly read the images and words anyway. And I don’t need to download that latest “app” to feel complete.

Damn, I am sounding like Andy Rooney, here. Anyway, that’s how I feel. Text me and let me know what you think.

I have a good friend up in LA who is an attorney and a conspiracy theorist. He lives to his own beat and is pretty unconventional. He doesnt carry one because he thinks the government will track his movements. I dont think he uses email either.
