I was a practicing Buddhist for years. When I say Zen it's the pop culture connotation of the word, not specifically referring to Buddhism itself. I was 19 before I got a cell phone. Now I travel internationally quite frequently so I'm jealous of people who are can go no phone. Also I didn't have friends or a real job until I was 25, so though I grew up with AOL CD ROMs and Netscape and dialup and cassette tapes, the start of my social life coincided with smartphone ownership.
