I suppose that like some other folks of the so called older generation I tend to shy away from a lot of modern high tech gizmos.But when my wife wanted me to learn how to text her I gave in and went to the phone company to get them to show me how.The first thing the fella asked me was how long I had that old outdated phone.Then he picked up a smart phone and said this is what you need.My first thought was that it was far to complicated for me.In the last six months though as i've slowly learned more about how to use this phone i've come to really to like it.It can do a lot of things that I won't use it for,but so can this computer that I'm using now...SO..My point here is there's really no reason to be out there hiding from those evil smart phones.If this 72 year old Carolina boy can use one anyone can.
