Anyone Else Here Eschew Smart Phones?

[AFTT47]

I'm a tech enthusiast except for smart phones. I have little use for them.

Back from 2008 to 2013 I used a weather radar app on one when I ran scuba and other tourist boats in the Florida Keys. That was extremely useful. I occasionally used a calculator app and a timer app when I worked a more conventional job from 2016 to 2022 when I retired. Now, I just use one to place and receive calls.

I have a high performance computer with 3 x 32" monitors and a 55" TV as a 4th monitor. Why to heck would want to play around with a device with a tiny screen? I might have felt differently if I was young again and more active but as a mostly stay at home nerd, they just don't appeal to me.

I mean...as much as anyone can? My first cell and my first smartphone were the same phone..and I wasn't consulted about it's acquisition. Just showed up. You'd have to be an ingrate to decline. In any other area, I'm a tech junkie and early adopter. But with smartphones and mobile phones in general I had to be hard pressured.

08-13 in florida...I was still using an actual calculator and a stopwatch, but maybe just look up, eh, the gulf is a pretty easy skymap....lol. Used both today too.... I feel like the day I can throw my iphone in the trash is the day I've won at life. I really hate them. It's not rational...I can't fully explain it. I just remember life before them and I liked it better. When people couldn't reach me unless I was home.
