Are you too dependent on your cellphone?

So I set an alarm on my phone last night to get up at 7:45am to go to the gym then work. I woke up and immediately grabbed my phone and it's completely dead. The dreaded black screen, and it had been on the charger all night.
I completely panicked because I don't have a watch or a clock in my house and I have a doctors appointment tomorrow with a new doctor and I don't even know her name. I have all my phone numbers and don't even have a single one memorized. I have my work schedule, work apps, calendar, etc etc. Not only all my entertainment like Netflix, Prime, Hulu, YouTube, TikTok, etc
it's scary how dependent on my phone I am!
I drove down to the Verizon store, fully expecting to pay my $250 deductible to get a new phone sent to me in several days and also having to buy a burner phone or whatever they are called to last me till new phone came in.
Thankfully they were able to fix it today. They just did a reset on my phone and everything came right back up. They asked me about what kind of charger I used and said that if I wasn't using the one that came with the phone , this situation happens sometimes.
So I had to buy a new charger for almost $100. I was pissed, but at least it was cheaper than using the insurance to get the phone replaced. So it could have been worse .

@TheDisciplinarian I've never bothered with tablets - either my phone or laptop has always been sufficient to meet my needs.

@ArtieKat ahh well
I Never really liked the Bulk of a laptop
Besides...now a good tablet does nearly all a laptop can
For those few things it can't..
