Folks, I am prepared for your wrath.  I can take it.  But I laugh at articles like this.  So many silly people's lives are centered around their phones.  And these toys are expensive!  Me?  I am rocking a Samsung Rugby 2 FLIP(!) phone used with T-Mobile.   No texting.  Just calls.  I love the reaction from people when I use it.

I lost one a few weeks ago, but I keep a stock of them.  No big deal. Now, lose a smart phone and your data could be at risk, they're more expensive to replace, and some people can't function.

I am now using the Jolly Roger Telephone Company for telemarketers.
