I come from a time when the phone had a cord and a bell and a rotary
dial. No answering machine or voice mail either. I upgraded to a flip
phone a few years ago and that's working plenty good enough, and it's
easy to carry. A neighbor gave me an old smart phone and I've got
"Torque" and "Freenav" for a couple of apps. I haven't activated
service on it and now I'm wondering now if I will. Time and technology
march on, sometimes without me. Disclaimer, I'll be 70 next year and
getting kinda old and wear Velcro shoes.
