Some mini golf and it came with another golf game, shooting stuff... dabbled in some of the mixed reality stuff like painting on your own walls.

I foresee a movement of folks going back to landlines for mental health purposes in the coming years.

How will your wife reach you if she needs to talk to you when she’s out of the house?

If you walk around without a cellphone (and aren't obviously homeless), won't the AI robots assume you are a terrorist?

About two years ago I purchased a new cell phone to replace my iphone 5. There was a brief, but beautiful, moment where I thought, "If this phone lasts as long as the last then it might be the last cell phone I ever own." My plan is to retire around 7 or 8 years from now.
Then I realized that my retirement goals involve living outside the US and extensive traveling and I thought, "Oh, right. If I don't keep the same number through all the travel then I will lose connection with everyone because most people can't be bothered to update phone numbers every couple of months." Still, it was a beautiful dream while it lasted. |

I don't really use my cell much. I have a LL at home and at the office. Both have answering machines. "Just leave me a message and maybe I'll call".
I am a cave man. I do find, although I don't care for it, texting is handy v a phone call. The problem is that a text is just a one way form. You can't confirm it was read. It does, also, create a trail which is good and bad. I could live without my phone without much trouble. I do my work research via computer. The cell is a convivence, which most of the time I really don't need. The main problem is that people today want instant commo. |

The ultimate freedom is to have no cell phone and no cable/internet. Maybe at most a rotary phone and an old fashioned radio.
Adding to that dream would be moving out to some acreage in either the South, Texas, the West or Alaska, stockpile guns, fly a Don't Tread on Me flag, grow your own vegetables and eat only freshly killed meat. |

![]() It was freaking great. Didn't notice anything then because we were always outside. I did have a cell then and would use it as a hotspot every once in a while to watch movies in the winter |

I have a couple of part-time jobs and use Google Maps alot. Before that I didn't have a cell phone. Spouse had a cell phone for several years before I had to get mine. Like I told her, "sometimes I don't want to be just a text or call away." Work would be tough without it now for me but if you can get by without it, I say go for it.
