It’s too practical not to have and it can be entertaining.

Yup and the rotary phone was still common and we had to consider if a call was local, regional or...shudder... long distance so we didn't torpedo our finances 😬😬😁😁
@TrunkZ So true…

@TrunkZ I was a teen with my own phone line because the computer hooked into the internet that way and my mom wasn't having the phone line taken over. 🤣

I made long distance calls and learned my lesson the hard way. Then I discovered pre-paid calling cards. 🤣

I don’t know what I would do if my IPad went down.
@tobynshorty Indeed, that’s when I really realized just how much I depend on it. 😳

I haven't had any landline hookups in any of my places since 2006. Next year will be twenty years without one.
@DeWayfarer I had one that I used for DSL, exclusively for my computer. Now I have a different type of modem

@bijouxbroussard I am strictly on my cellphone! No Internet connection. And that has as well been since 2006.

I don't even have cable TV. That's antenna. Must admit there was a cable hookup in my last place. I never used it though. There is not even a cable hookup in this apartment.
@DeWayfarer I couldn’t do that. I like TV. But I did get rid of cable, and streaming has been sufficient for me.

When the internet was sacred 🥲🤭

I could generally do without a cell phone.
@jackson55 That’s exactly how I had been using mine, it’s invaluable.

@bijouxbroussard You have a keyboard for it ?
@jackson55 Yes.

They have sucked you in to the global techno-conspiracy!! 🤣

But seriously, has technology enabled you to touch more lives in an average day or been an isolating influence in your life? (It can go either way.)
@sarabee1995 Actually, the former. I use my IPad to talk with family, and friends that I know offline, too.

@bijouxbroussard That's awesome. That's how these things should be used. 🙂
