I'm a DINOSAUR
Everything has changed. I never had a cell phone or a smart phone or a palm device... I'm ancient on my desktop. :question: :bluesad: :drink: :lookingup:

Well...I've only had a cell phone for the last two years...and I'm 58.
Mr. Wonka, may I suggest a 10'' windows 8 tablet?
Not windows 'RT 8' - but 8pro.32bit. HP EliteBooks are a good start.

I've never owned a cell phone, palm device, smart phone either. I do have a laptop though. I don't want to own a cell phone.
I own a smart phone.
Came in handy when my computer broke and I didn't have money to fix it for a few months.
Other than that, eh. It's not worth it.

I have a huge PC at home: no internet access but everything else works fine. The storage on that PC is 40MB. :buggedout: :buggedout:
I have a basic Nokia phone - anyone can call me, just PM me. :smile:
I have no lap top except when I sit down. :wink:
I have no tablet or Iphone.
And yes, I still have my vinyl LPs. :thumbup:
Idk being a dinosaur sounds cooler than "FB Junkie" You can like be a different type of dinosaur every day. Pterodactyl, Triceratops, T-rex, ... Long necks... They are called that in land before time... And that type off dinosaur spike ad ducky were. And like you can appreciate the last leaf left in the land over FB junkie business someone you don't knows latest selfie.
I've got a cell phone - it's in a drawer someplace with the battery taken out of it. :teddyr: I just don't have any use for the damned thing. I don't have anything to say to anybody that's so important that it can't wait until I get home.
No tablet computer either. I was thinking of getting one but once again, other than as a toy I wouldn't have any use for it at all.
I do like playing my guitar through the computer though. If I want to learn a song I can slow it down to any tempo while the pitch stays the same, and I've got a bunch of amplifier simulations and effects all just a mouse click away. So at least all this technology serves some useful purpose.

Dad always said the only cell phones he ever tolerated were Mom's and mine: he liked the special features on mine but he never wanted one. :smile:
I own a PC and a cell phone (and got rid of the land line). Cells are almost a necessity nowadays since pay phones are almost nonexistent.

I had to get one for each of our kids "in case of emergencies" or so I was told. Eight trillion cell phone calls later and we still haven't had a single emergency :lookingup:
Open the door and get on the floor.
We still have pay phones around here. I find I do get strange looks when I'm using one though...
We've pay phones here. But in the shady neighborhoods where there's major crimes.
I honestly don't use my phone to call anyone. I only carry it in case of emergency. Or to shoot a quick text to my boss if I'm running late to work. Once I'm home, I turn it off til the next day.
