Onebyone, I agree. I am not a youngster by any means but the smart phone I have has made my life easier and more enjoyable. I don't need my GPS, don't have a paper address book or calendar (I am backed up to the cloud, and to my iMac and iPad, so I don't think I will ever really lose any of it) When we travel I don't miss any email, texts, or anything. For folks who say their fingers are too fat, you don't use your entire finger tip, just a light touch. I have big hands and haven't had any problems. I can see the grandkids on FaceTime and I follow them on Instagram just to see what's up. Folks don't have to use Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. It is not required. But, it really helps me stay connected as much as I want. Plus, don't forget downloading books for free from the library through the Overdrive App. I think these will all work on phones that are not iPhones, except for FaceTime. Best invention ever. I would give up my dishwasher to keep my iPhone.
