I don’t have a phone
Sure it’s inconvenient sometimes, but on the whole I’d say my life is better than those I see glued to their phones.
This belief is reinforced whenever people ask for my number (dentist, doctor, whatever)
The gusto which they invariably reply “OMG I WISH I could get rid of my phone!”
- haspok 7mo agoBecause only those two extremes exist: you either don't have a phone, or your are glued to it?
- testing22321 7mo agoOf course not, I said nothing of the sort. I said I’d prefer to not have a phone than be like people who are glued to their phones. I said nothing about all the people in the middle.

- adampunk 7mo agoWhat kind of phone does your grownup have?
- testing22321 7mo agoZing. We’ve both been exploring the world since long before smartphones were invented. So we still do everything we want the same as always.
- triceratops 7mo agoThey're probably being nice and think you're a weirdo. I don't btw. I admire you sticking to your principles.
- testing22321 7mo agoIn all fairness, I am a weirdo and wouldn’t have it any other way.

- GTP 7mo agoSo do you give to your doctor your landline's nuber, and this is why they're surprised, or you don't even have that?
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoHow often do you travel outside of the country or even outside of your state?
- testing22321 7mo agoI’m not American. I travel a lot. It’s how I make money.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoThen tge question still remains - how do you catch an Uber or communicate with people when you don’t speak their language?
- testing22321 7mo agoSmiles, hand signals, learn basic words. Exactly the same way I did when I drove across dozens of countries before the iPhone was invented.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoI assure you your experience was a lot less deep than mine now that I’m in a country where I don’t speak the language well for six weeks. And how are you getting around without Uber now that taxis are basically dead. And why be a Luddite when it comes to phones and not computers? Cars?
