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.

Pretty soon you won't be able to get by without one. One thing I like about technology is paying my utilities online. I can even schedule a payment arrangement if I need one. I haven't had to call in years. And it's easy peasy. Anyone can do it. I save my fingerprint to my iPad so when I touch the power button it logs me in. My iPad also saves my payment info so I don't have to get my card out. You'll get the hang of it after a while.
