The latest tech just isn't for everyone (not yet ;) )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158370400698005696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153489848796289746.post-21153433797401753522016-09-05T15:19:37.342-07:002016-09-05T15:19:37.342-07:00You're right (mostly) Adam.

Can't you see that about yourself? Don't you remember how you saw old people when you were young? They were exactly the same. And I know you think that YOURE the one that's different. But no. Smartphones may be part of a consumerist marketing society but that doesn't automatically make them worthless. Clearly they're capable of amazing things, and not using one only hurts you, and nobody else.as43343ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097774774788382012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153489848796289746.post-41270449056561904492016-09-04T15:25:07.722-07:002016-09-04T15:25:07.722-07:00Wow you're just a typical older person who res...Wow you're just a typical older person who resists new technology.

I set up to feed once and then never again have to mess with it.<br /><br />If people are suggesting you post your material on multiple platforms, it might be something worth looking into.<br /><br />That said, I understand wholly where you're coming from. I have a smartphone, and sometimes I think it's the worst purchase I ever made. (Admittedly, it does allow me to keep in better touch with all my non-local friends, better than a "dumb" phone would; and also allows me access to tools I wouldn't have access to otherwise.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
