I refuse to own a mobile or smartphone. It's difficult but I do most comms using email or the regular phone.
I also pay with everything using cash because fuck the New World Order.
microsoft owns skype
need any more explanation?
Four years ago, I got rid of my cell phone. I feel completely liberated and free from that hellish thing. I've never had any difficulty whatsoever being without it.
I have not done this yet, but due to the smart phone becoming an addicting substance that has real similarities to the 1990s Star Trek Next Generation episode called -- "The Game" (It's highly recommended to watch this), I have often threatened to confiscate my kid's smart phones and replace them with walkie-talkies. The range for these walkie-talkies are commonly 35+ miles. Whenever I mention this, the gnashing of teeth and howls coming from my kids is ear shattering.
The original intent according to my wife for buying the kids smart phones was for emergency communication purposes. No one ever mentioned the Internet and social media problem we now face. It is a constant battle parents are engaged in. So, why not a walkie-talkie? Or nothing at all?
'The Game" is an amazing episode. Very portentous.
Good for you !
