    I too have a flip phone. I had a smart phone when my son worked at Verizon for a yr, but I gave it up. I never did like the thing, although it did have some very useful features. The GPS did get me to TN to WI and back whiteout a single wring turn. With all of these small devices like phones, IPads, etc. it is nice to have all the info of the world in the palm of your hand. But alas, we are now so used to them as a society, we can’t live without them. Cursive writing is no longer being taught in school as hand writing is so seldom used, you just type on your device. I’m not sure how a signature on paper will work in the future as they won’t know how to sign their name. I’m not sure how everyone else gets on this site, but I use my iPad, and yes, I too am somewhat dependent upon it. I use the internet a lot as I have an inquisitive mind. If I want to do something I know nothing about, I research it as much as possible, certify myself as an expert, then go ahead and do it. I didn’t know how to build a house, so I got books, learned carpentry, electric wiring, plumbing, and built a house. Now I would use the internet, as I have in learning about distilling. I will always try to keep books around like the Foxfire series as a backup, but personal hand held devices are here to stay, will get more and more invasive into our lives, were we will be hooked up to them and be online all the time in the future. Should an EMP happen, we will be in the Stone Age again.

    For someday sons and daughters
    Will rise up and fight while we stood still"

    I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me.

    We won't need handwriting to sign on the dotted line before long. You'll just get the chip in your hand scanned.
    For those who won't take the chip, you won't be doing anything important enough officially for it to matter.

    I haven't figured out where you got "about a rifle" in this thread, even speed reading it.
    It went from TV channels for pets to watch, to people's addiction to their handheld electronic devices.
