I have been a computer nut since the late 1970s, love the geek of Star Trek, would suffer severe withdrawal if my tablet were taken from me. (My iPad died this early fall, it took 10 hours to replace it.....) my tablet has cell service, so I can computerize while traveling.

But I do not have a cell phone, and have no plans to get one. I dislike phones very much and just no reason for me to have one.

It is interesting how it is becoming assumed everyone has one. I hear many sports tickets are are issued on a phone only any more, and of course banking and such stuff, even getting access to yahoo email and some of the streaming video stuff it’s assumed everyone has a cell.

Several years ago I replied to a craigslist type of ad and traveled a few 100 miles to pick up a tire and rim. The fella wouldn’t give me directions to his house, just always ‘call when you get close.’ Even after 5times of, I don’t have a cell. I had to drive out to Mitchell sad and find a phone at a Cabelas store, call him, and even then he says drive 6 miles north and call when you get close.

I said, ok, I don’t have a phone I can’t call you. Period there is no way to do it. Either I get directions now, or I just have to drive home. Now.

He wasn’t being coy or security concerned, he just wasn’t understanding a person not having a phone, it was a given that everyone has a cell phone and can call every 5minutes.

It was kinda funny.

Paul

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
