I wouldn't answer to Luddite, but I'm not a consumer of all the latest gadgets, apps and adult toys either. Let me clarify "toys". I refer to the technical kind, not those for the bedroom, but then what would a former Catholic school girl know about those anyway.
While most people now have smart phones, mine is only of average intelligence. While some smart phones are artificially intelligent enough to attend Harvard, mine would do well at a community college. My phone would never be asked to hang out with the cool kids. It seriously lacks the necessary bells and whistles to be classified as smart.
Don't get me wrong. I think cell phones are right up there in the "greatest thing since sliced bread" category. Sure beats hunting for a pay phone like we did back in the day. Can you even find a phone booth anymore? Prediction: One will turn up on Antiques Roadshow ten years from now and it'll be worth an absolute fortune.
Keep it simple is my mantra. I want my phone to display all the little bars, connect after I enter a number, take a photo and let me send a text or two. I don't expect it to do my laundry and melt s'mores -- although both might be apps I'd buy into.
