Are there others here who, like me, don't have a 'smartphone'?

I've just never needed one. I have a laptop though, and that's what I'm using now to type this.

Really?

Good for you.

So you need to go somewhere, you drag out the Rand McNally maps?
Paying bills by check?
Grabbing the yellow pages when you need a pedicure?

@SumKindaMunster I use a map, one made out of paper, yes. I pay by cash, not cheque, and I've used the Yellow Pages when I've needed to.

@SumKindaMunster I also read real books, not electronic ones.

@Bellatrix2083 Paying by cash has to be pretty inconvenient all the time. Do you order stuff online from Amazon, etc? Or nah, all brick and mortar shops?

@SumKindaMunster How is cash inconvenient? No, I've never ordered anything from Amazon.

@Bellatrix2083 It's inconvenient to carry cash all the time, and much easier to use a CC on your smart phone to pay for things. What happens when you are in the shop buying your groceries and you realize you don't have enough cash? ATM for more cash?

@SumKindaMunster I always make sure I have enough with me before I go into the shop. It also means I cannot overspend. What's a CC?

@Bellatrix2083 Credit Card

@SumKindaMunster I cut up my credit card recently (as per a post here) and the account is shut down. I always use cash as much as possible for in-person purchases. I would still have a landline phone if it was feasible but now all I can get is a voip phone since landline copper back to the telephone exchange was destroyed when the NBN took over from Telstra's landlines and normal phones plus ADSL went away.
