Smart Phones

Call me old Fasioned, but I might just be the last 40 something in America without a smart phone. Maybe I am just unsusual, or the tightwad in me wont come off the 80 plus dollar a month plan fees, but I am still squeaking by with my old nokia pre paid, no bells and whistles phone. It is so old I can no longer text on it, I never really got into texting to begin with. I only pay about 200.00 a year for this phone. I still have a land line, and that suits me fine. The strange thing is, in fifth grade back in 1978 I wrote a science fiction story about a time when we would all watch tv on our wristwatches, and be able to see people we talked to on the phone. I diddn't realize at the time that I was so on the mark with this. So you would think I would be the first in line for one of these wonder phones right? but frankly all the new technology scares me a little. It took me long enough to learn about my computer, and keep up with all the updates, and security software ect....I was one of the last of my friends to hop on the facebook bandwagon, and I phones? I guess I havent been able to reconcile the need want vs expense equation with that one yet. Maybe I don't know what I am missing, Maybe my business would improve and life would become easier, but would it equal out to more than 60.00 a month worth of improvements? Maybe if I hold out long enough someone will come out with a plan that I can afford and feel good about.
Until then you can leave a message on my voice mail which I check several times a week......or email me that I check every day.
