Charles II had a cabal, we can only hope this lot will suffer a similar fate as his lot

I basically still live without one to this day. Do I have a smartphone? Yes. Do I use it? Not really. I don't even have 3 #'s stored in my phone; don't text, don't game, etc. I'll read a book on it, if I'm stuck in the Doc's office, instead of lugging a larger ereading device. I primarily carry it for emergencies, as of course we all initially did.
I live in a home and work in an office that are in mountainous areas. I get zero cellphone reception in my home--I'd have to walk outside at least 50-100 feet, to get anything. Text, email, even phone. Ditto the office. Thus, I've never developed the umbilical with it. I do admit that I see that people have become dead attached to them. No matter where you go--doctor's office, etc.--people are constantly on them. No conversation; no human interaction, F2F. Just glued to the screen. Given that I already spend a horrible amount of my day on the computer for work, I'm glad I'm not so attached to the phone.
