Your Thoughts Please

My wife and I had just cheap flip phones a few years ago, as we relied on our computers for pretty much everything. We were headed from Florida back up to our summer home when really severe weather broke out with thunderstorms and tornadoes everywhere. The sky was just ugly. We listened to our radio and heard one tornado passed by a town we were directly headed for. We felt blind with no way to access radar. We decided we would never allow ourselves to fly blind again.

Today we have one of the best 5G phones made with 7" screens. We each have 3-4 weather apps (in case one has issues) and can monitor weather easily. With such great phones with such great screens, about half of what we used to do on computers we now do on our phones. I would not be without them.
