I don't trust them and don't like being told what to do!

I remember when my grandma would balance her checkbook with one of those new fangled calculators... she always did the sums on paper to check that the calculator was correct! For you the GPS is a perfect tool. You'd be silly not to use it.



Benny, my dad was an airline pilot, and he does not like all the computer automatization on some of the new planes. If the system goes down, the pilots who have be overly dependent on the computer often do not have the skills to continue flying or make the correct decisions in an emergency situation. There have been at least 2 serious crashes where this has been the problem. I think the use of technology is good only when you have the skills to do it yourself. My dad loves his navigator, but he can read a map blindfolded! Every generation absorbs new technology, and the next generation has no adjustment period. Seems the smart phone is spanning several generations and we will have to see how it changes things!

So I now have a whole foot into the 21 century

, I have a cell and a digital camera and can use it and post pics NOT sure if that is a good thing or not , Time will tell

you may all regret "convincing" me to get a camera AND no serious complaining as it is all your faults.

Yes!  Although, I am still amazed that you can basically have the world in your pocket. Just like being able to chat with you om the other side of the world!  It helped that my boys did not get phones until they were older (high school) and so are not as addicted as most of their friends.  It has replaced television for them, but otherwise is more of a tool than a lifestyle.

I never said that it is not an EXCELENT working tool! But we shel all remember that what it is no more no less! When it becomes the thing that identifies you you are in a big problem!

I want to make a littel qweez tgat I made in Sall's thread

1. How many phone number you remmber in comparison to the non smartphone times? (Era,are,eera,aera.... don't know how to spell it)

2. How often you use a navigator to reach from a to b?

3. Do you feel lost or stressed when you can use your smartphone?

Era is correct.

1.  About the same.  I relied on an address book before and still do, except for family #s that I use frequently.
2. Don't have a navigator.  Google maps adds to my paper maps, but I pick the route and know where to turn without artificial help.
3. No.  (and I'm sure you meant when you cannot use it)

The biggest use of my cell phone is text communications for coordinating carpool rides for school (with 5 other families) and with my hubs when he is out of town.  It does bring me peace of mind that my teen driver has a phone with him, just in case.  

Sorry you are right! CAN'T USE
