If that’s the case, I’m glad I don’t have one.

It’s just a question of who is the smarter — you or the phone.

Most of you are toast.

My cell phone is some dumb and so old, it has a dial. Some of you are too young to know what that is.

I don’t have a smartphone, just a phone that mkaes calls and texts…I don’t need endless apps, a GPS system, and directions to get to the “cool” restaurants. I have a laptoop, and with all the free wi-fi out there, I just use that.

To the previous posters, all current phones have built in gps or agps tech so you can be tracked just as easily, so don’t feel left out ;p

@Ray CMy shoe phone still has a few years left on the plan before I can upgrade.

I’ve got a stupid phone.

Check your phone again – even if it doesn’t have a GPS app, there’s a very good chance your phone has a GPS tracker in it “for 911 purposes”. So long as people hold the attitude that Smartphones are just tracking devices, they will be used accordingly. Pay attention to the politicians. Stand up and tell them know. George Orwell would.

That’s why I resurrected my Palm Pilot – it does most of the things a smart phone dies except make calls and track me, and since they’re all but obsolite, I can download all the apps I need for free from legacy software websites.

haha so true… we’ve become a culture of nosy neighbors!

I remember when Mom turned in my first cell phone to get a better one. The man behind the counter looked at it and said, “What is that?”
