Smart phones.

I still only have a pay as you go dumb phone. Someone who wants me can call or drop me a text, although if it's the latter they'll get only a brief response. No inane back and forth.

I don't need to be online all the time and the cost of smart phone + data plan seems like insanity to me. The very rare occasions when it would be truly helpful to be able to go online couldn't begin to offset that outlay. And how often am I in a situation where I couldn't find a hotspot if I wanted one?

And if I needed to bolster my stand there are all those people who are so wrapped up in their phones that they aren't in the moment. Talk about a horrible example.
