I am old school and do not possess a smart phone

I can not see myself ever getting a smart phone.
People tell me smart phones are so handy. Everything is at your finger tips.
My way of thinking is that "everything is at your fingertips" is leading society down the wrong path.
One only needs to get on a commuter train to see 90% of passengers with their eyes glued to a tiny screen. Not interacting with the person beside them, not noticing the scenery as it passes every one by.
When I purchased my new vehicle last week the salesman wanted to show me how to set up my phone/blue tooth.
I said don't worry about that. I am old school and and do not have a smart phone. I rarely listen to music and I dislike phones.
I also notice QR Codes everywhere. Without a smart phone I no not they reveal.
Do I think I am missing out?
No. Having survived this far without scanning a QR code I see no reason to start now.
Tell me some of the things available through QR codes that you think may be advantageous to this (getting there) old codger.

I’m inclined not to get one either but I can’t get into the Millennium Stadium without one or use Ticketmaster for concerts because the way they have their apps set up you need one.
Won’t send tickets to your e-mail…..
Slippery slope.

@TheSirfurryanimalWales I would write to the company saying there are hundreds of thousands of potential customers willing to pay but are locked out because of your business model.
@Gusman They don’t care….I’ve had the argument.
