Re: What do you like to do the old-fashioned way?

I held out on a cell phone until 2006. I started my First Real Adult Job late the previous year and started traveling a lot for work. I was working for a very small company that couldn't afford company cell phones, but it really helped to be able to call the office (or hotels or co-workers) from wherever. Plus, I was gone so much, it meant my friends and family would hardly ever be able to reach me if I didn't have a cell. I was sometimes gone for weeks at a time, so who knows when I'd be checking my landline voicemail next. Prior to that, I had problems with people who were used to cell phones not leaving messages because they had gotten used to being able to see who called, while my landline service did not preserve that info, so I would just get a lot of hang-ups on the answering machine and friends who were annoyed that I didn't call them back.

I still don't have a smart phone, but 90% of what I'd need one for would be work and now I work for a place that supplies us with smart phones, so for now I'm sticking with my cheap flip phone for personal use.
