Having had both, I think smart phones are so much easier to use than the phones used when this strip was created. Even if you only want to make phone calls, it’s easier to add contacts into a smart phone. The hardest part for my mom (as an example of a senior using the latest technology) was that there weren’t actual buttons. She wanted to push the screen so hard that it would register multiple times, which frustrated her. It really just takes a touch or tap.Hello Cathy clan!

I think my smart phone is being grossly under used. I’m not that old, under 40, I’m just to busy to play with it.[ ]Happy Hump Day Cathy clan!

There are No phones that will not make you look like a complete idiot. With a little coaching tho, you can make them work for you. I’m happy with my iphone, tho like several others here have said, I don’t begin to use all of its capabilities — and who over the age of 20 would ever have time?
