I'm probably a young fart as far as this group. Technology has a plus side and a minus side. Being on the cutting edge is not always a good place to be. Look at some of the vehicles like the Edsel, or the B-58 bomber. Cutting edge tech, but so many glitches that they failed. Solar, when it first was developed, had a lot of problems. The silicon crystal batter used to make them is a ecological nightmare. Germany, where it was advanced, mandated recycling the silicon waste. Good conservation, but also expensive. The company moved operations to China. Good move!!! NOT! While China can churn the stuff out faster and cheaper, they do it at the expense of their environment. They dump the waste in fields and rice paddies. Read several stories about that some years back. I hate smart phones. I used a Quantico flip for nearly ten years. Great phone. No internet, calls and texts were all I need. I had a friend who regularly broke his smart phone. I cannot count the number of times he cracked the screen. I now have a smart phone and hate it more than I did when I was using the Quantico. They combine a lot of functions into one device. They don't do it well. Yes, its nice having GPS on the phone. Yes, its nice having internet. It would be great if it had the reception and sound quality of that Quantico.
