And yes, I do know that some people have become so dependent on their mobile devices that their lives would be very "difficult" without them.<br /><br />Grace, I like how you handle the phone problem, limiting its use to that of a telephone.<br /><br />Chuck, I no longer wear a watch, either. I mean my <i>cell phone</i> is with me wherever I go and it is a clock. Don't you think that middle item looks totally like a pocketful of junk?vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-44533513889005601482016-08-31T11:15:29.160-04:002016-08-31T11:15:29.160-04:00I don't wear or carry a watch.

My husband's family calls him on his cell (probably because they don't want to speak to me LOL) and they all are perturbed because they can't text him - I blocked the data function on our phones.

Well...until a storm was rolling in and we didn't have radar or a radio to find details--a must-have for tent campers. We did refer to Joe's work cell, which did have service, for absolute emergencies, but otherwise, we survived just fine. I don't know how feasible it is in everyday life, but I do try to keep it at a minimum.<br /><br />I like my fitbit. A necessity? Nope. But it helps me keep track of my movement each day and reminds me to move when I am at work.<br /><br />I did not miss my computer or TV either.
