Yes Dave, it suits millions of users but sometimes, i want to be out of contact. I use it just as an emergency device if i broke down out on my bike. Kids and grandchildren phone up if they are needing something but i rarely call anyone on it. I am stuck in the days when we had no phones. I grew up with no heating and a bath once a week if i was lucky.My technology now is a big TV and 2 largish computers and a photoprinter. Funny to watch the little Grandchildren navigating smart phones and i would need to read a book to switch one on.
When i was working, i installed a lot of computer wiring but still had no computer of my own. Eventually, i had to get an email address to use the library. I am a bit slow to change now.
