I used to brag that I intended to be the technology equivalent of Herb in those old Burger King commercials: The last person on earth not carrying a cell phone.
Then about two years ago, circumstances forced my hand. When on the road, if I needed to call people, I had to use pay phones, and they were getting scarce. Sometimes I had to use a decrepit one in a gas station/convenience store parking lot, amid traffic noise and sometimes in rotten weather.
I broke down and signed up for a smart phone, just like the one my post-college daughter had recently acquired.
