When the cell phone was invented, I
was all in on this marvelous technological device. Like everyone else in
the world, I bought one. As they progressed I went through a few models,
mostly with their case, felt like a big wad of paper rolled up in your
pocket, Later, Motorola introduced their "Razr", a very thin style of
phone. I still have that phone. You might say it's become a piece of
antiquated technical art.
Then came the "smart" phone. A
phone that also operated as a small computer. Now we've got something.
As they progressed, it was no longer a phone with computer capabilities,
but a small advanced computer that just happens to also be a phone. The
concept of having a smart phone has morphed into something that's become
life to some, and the transportation of that whole life, which if you
loose your cell phone, has put most of that life in jeopardy.
Last year, 2020, I got a notice
from my carrier, my phone would no longer be supported and I wouldn't be
able to use it after the first of the year. This would mean an upgrade.
Anyway, I only used the phone and camera section of my smart phone and
had become disenchanted with the concept, and shelved my smart phone,
going without for the past 3 months. I finally replaced my cell phone
with a flip phone. Now to answer a call, I simply flip the lid and say
hello. To say goodbye, I simply close the lid. That's efficiency.
Obviously, not everyone feels the
same as I do. Billions enjoy the whole experience of smart phones, and
I'm happy for them. I'm also happy they still make flip phones, for
geezers such as I.
Viva La Flip Phone!
