If I am busy, I ignore mine when it rings. If it's important, they will call back like they did in the good old days OR leave a message.

It doesn't and it shouldn't because this is the "General Chit Chat (non photography talk)"

What does it do to you? You miss the pay phone?

I'm 84. When I was working the farm, the smartphone was an essential tool. Not only did it show me the weather radar when I needed a forecast, I used it for keeping track of irrigation zones and orders. The camera was useful for documentation. I was not tempted by social media or browsing the web. It was a utility item.
The problem isn't the phone. It's the user habits.

Because we no longer have Pay Phones/Phone Booths, cell phones are a source of security. Should have one on case of an emergency.

"Should have one on case of an emergency."
I agree. Cell phones are very useful in a variety of situations.

It boggles my old mind how these people cannot put down their devices to walk, drive, or eat. It’s is just amazing to me, and I hesitate to see how much worse it can get.
Which redefines Hell. What is Hell? "I can't get any reception down here!!!!"

Wife has a smart phone. I have a smartphone as well and a flip phone. We use the navigation maps on the smartphone quite a bit as well as other purposes including my hearing aids. The flip phone I got to replace the home phone as it is about half the price per month. I also give out that number when needed to in cases where I feel they will use it to give me useless info or try to sell me something. Also as a backup due to health issues.

I have one but frequently forget it and go out, leaving it on the charger.
One thing i HATE is that so many people would prefer to text instead of talk. I like the exchange that happens quickly in a voice conversation.
Texting causes a conversation to drag on forever and you can't hear the tones and inflections in a person's voice.

Yeah, I used to work with 2 guys and they texting eachother standing 5ft apart. Strangely, this one guy never answer his phone when I called but he always responsed to my text.

I like cell phones and the internet but I could do without social media (which is the real problem).
