Monsignor Pope Ping!
I got my first cell phone in 1989 and have had one ever since. I got my first “Smart Phone” in 2016 and immediately turned off the WiFi and internet access functions. The thing is a communications tool. Not an entertainment device or a substitute for human interaction. The new phone was free from TracFone, replacing the old but perfectly functional Motorola flipper I had been using and still prefer but is no longer available and will not work anymore due to “Upgrades”.
I suppose the object is to give everyone an advertising receiver. I guess I am just old fashioned, but I don’t need my phone to play games, watch movies or sports or tell me how to get from place to place. Believe it or not, I sometimes leave the phone on the table when I go out and go for hours without having it with me.
Wise Words from the Good Monsignor!
