I ended up with a new smart phone and I hate it, 95% of what I don’t need 3% of what I do need and 2% who knows what, I would go back to a flipper any day. How this piece of junk is better is beyond me everything is a secret squirrel shake it twist it rub it here and there to get someplace. It’s like you get into places but then can’t find a way out or you change some settings and then your screwed big time. My old phone I could take pics and download right to my PC no problem then post here on the jpeg format. Now the pics go to google then become HTM format that’s useless to me I can’t post them on Facebook even. Now on the line I need to carry my phone and camera so I can text pics to another phone and my camera will download to my PC then.
Then the wife got me a iPad for Christmas that about killed me setting that thing up I locked myself out the first day I had to go to the phone store to get it set up, it kept asking for codes and ID numbers and I have no clue what ones it wanted. Still asking for codes I’m afraid to try type in for fear of everything going south again.
Someday those devices and a hammer will be in the same room and I will be back to a flip phone again. LOL.

I think whoever is in charge should pull the plug on the interweb 1 day a month, 24 hrs of silence, no idiots walking into walls, fountains, traffic or other people.

Girlfriend's phone took a dump on her last week. She got a new one and asked me if she should throw the old one in the garbage. I said no, first decent day we get you are going to grab one of your guns and you are gonna blow that sucker to smithereens. She liked the idea. Your quite Welcome to come up to my cottage and I'm sure we can line up a 21 Gun Salute to launch that phone into ORBIT. ORBIT was a container they put on the side of roads in the 60-70's in Canada so roadside litter would be put there,,,and sent away.

Someday I'm going to invent an "old Geezer phone". Only controls are: bang it on the floor once to get Sarah from Andy Griffith show-"Sarah get me the fillin' station". And then bang it once more to hang up. Oh, and the back has a turkey call built in so at least it will be useful. Maybe someday..........

Fortunately for me, before I retired I had to learn how to work with computers, etc. That said, some of these instructions for pairing phones, installing software, etc are so poorly written that it's just try this and try that. Since I retired, I try to use a phone as little as possible, but it's nice to call the wife and tell here I'll be late or have a flat tire. Even better is when she can get in touch with me and tell me she's ok, on her way home or needs help. The rest of it - Facebook, Twitter, etc. I could care less about. Could I live without it? ABSOLUTELY!!

I am fairly computer literate but Apple and my iPhone irritate the heck out of me with the useless updates to the operating system. I don't down load them until they basically force me to. They always screw something up, usually multiple things.
This last time they "upgraded" my photo-editing software. It still functions the same but they changed all the icons and now when you try to edit a pic it shrinks down to a very small size so there is room on the screen for all the new icons. Some upgrade!
Hey Apple, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Eh...wot?
