I unashamedly love my phone, although the call feature is the least used one on it. I love taking and uploading pictures to my cloud storage in the middle of the woods. I love that my calendar is on there, and all the trail maps I've downloaded. I love my various hiking gps apps. I love keeping my knitting patterns on there. I love having my books available on there. I'm not much of a game player so I don't really play games on there, but a lot of people love that. I silence it when appropriate, and I never use it while in the middle of a shopping or business transaction (one of my big pet peeves!), but yeah, I love my smartphone and I use it to its full potential. I no longer have a landline, a point-and-shoot camera, a separate gps device, or a paper calendar. Everything backs up to the cloud so if my phone is lost or damaged I can access the data from any computer. I drank the koolaid quite a few years ago and I haven't regretted it yet! (Plus the obvious, of course - when my mom was still living it enabled me to stay available for the frequent emergencies that came up while allowing us both a little breathing space. For a caregiver, that is PRICELESS.)
