I left my phone behind while visiting family this week. However, I was told not to worry as someone would drop it off to me. However, I wasn’t told that the person doing this good deed had to work their night shift first. So I had to wait 24 hours. C’est la vie. It was my mistake. In the meantime I had to adjust to life without a phone. Or to be more accurate, adapt to life without a smartphone. So I dug around in my cupboards and found an old handset that used to belong to my Father’s. It's a Maxi-Key model which is designed for the requirements of senior citizens who aren’t good with technology. It has large keys and 8-Bit style ringtones that sound like they come from some insane Super Nintendo game. It is functional so far as I can make and receive text messages and phone calls. However it has none of the internet functionality of my Samsung S10 5G and as a result I have become starkly aware of how much I've grown accustomed to the trappings of the modern smartphone.
