We're in Chicago, visiting with our kids. This article appeared on my homepage this morning as I checked news, etc. on my IPad. Amazingly, I could relate.....my phone has become fused to my right hand it seems, especially since my kids both have IPhones. Guess it's less expensive than some other addictions......

Yes. I get up in the morning, check the weather and read various newspapers on it. Ditched the land line a couple of years ago and use it exclusively for phoning. Keep my schedule on it. When I need to get up at a certain time in the morning, I now use it instead of my alarm clock because it's so easy to set an alarm. I text on it. Track storms on it. Listen to music on it. Play Suduko on it. Use various apps throughout the day on it.

Heck, my iPhone probably knows me better than I do.

You're my kind of friend....

It's such an easy device to use. The grand kids have iPods and grandma gets apps from them and they get apps from me. Last evening, as we dined at son's restaurant, the kids were recording short videos and we were using an FX app to "blow up"the restaurant.....hee, hee, hee! Grandparents are really just big kids with some funds....

How did we ever live without them. Let alone the iPad.

Verizon AT&T, etc hate people like me becuase all I want and need is a dumb phone. I am with Verizon and limited to a very nrrow selection of phones because I won't sign up for data. However folks like me are going to be forced into a data plan. If I was still working I would have a smartphone but I am not. I don't use my internet enough to ustify the monthly cost now. However, I can see the future for me and I am going to be forced to join the pack.
