Maybe it's a question of whether we own the technology -- or the technology owns us. Many use tech wisely, some don't and are rather addicted.

Me, I live a life where a cell phone/samrt phone is not necessary...had one, never used it.

Now DH and I now share a Trac phone which we take along when traveling mostly. Comes in handy sometimes.

I know some who cannot be without some electronic device in their hands at all times and their minds are elsewhere. Kind of sad, little human interaction.
