Re: Screen Addiction is destroying travel
One of my best friends, who worked with me for 15 years, refuses to consider anything beyond his buy more minutes flip phone. In fact he only carries it when it's absolutely necessary. Of course he's as contrary as a hog on ice. I swear most of the things he refuses to do or even consider is due to his stubborn, against the grain personality. Wouldn't take a million dollars for him but he can be very trying at times.

At the end of the day, tech is just a tool. If it helps you accomplish a goal, use it. If it doesn't, don't. In many cases, I won't know whether the tool helps or not unless I try it, so why not try? Right now I'm communicating with people I don't know and most likely will never meet. I couldn't do that without the tech, and I think that's pretty cool.

Re: Screen Addiction is destroying travel
I will be 5 years retired next month. I don't know if any of you younger guys realize it or not, but when you retire and go on Social Security you have to make a very important decision right away. That is, you will NOT be working, but will be getting a SS check. So are you going to NOT work full time 40 hours, or are you going to NOT work part time 20 hours??????? After careful thought, I elected to NOT work part time 20 hours, because that way dividing my SS check by 20 I would make more per hour!!!!stagman wrote:You and me both Jerry...be 12 years retired for me this june,,,I could

I enjoy my phone, I seldom use it for conversation and I never text while driving, l have sync on my truck and talk thu that when I do, but 99 percent of my aapk use is on the fool thing. I like that just about anything l need to know is at my fingertips. I've been retired for 14 years and it by far the best job I've ever had.
