Reluctant Upgrade
I really dislike cellphones and I probably mention that far too often in this blog but I recently upgraded my cellphone so felt it was time for a blog entry about "smart" devices. How often I mention this dislike of cellphones here should be an indication of how much I truly dislike these things and especially in regard to how people can't seem to put them down. I used cellphones during my career through the 1990s along with radios and landlines but effective and immediate communication was truly essential in my job. I'm retired now and have absolutely no desire to be attached to a phone all the time. In fact, my cellphone is set to "Do Not Disturb" almost always unless I am waiting on an important phone call. I have absolutely no desire to be fielding telephone calls at all times and I especially have no desire to be fielding any type of text messaging which is almost always poorly communicated, hence, I actually do prefer a phone call over text me
