   Then I'm getting old too.  I agree with you about the phone.  I've   
   resisted my family's pressure to get a smart phone.  I gave in partially   
   and got a touch screen one with pull out keyboard when my old one broke.   
   It was horrible.  I'm glad I lost it and have been able to go back to a   
   good old fashioned flip phone.   
      
   However, I do watch movies and TV shows over the internet on my laptop,   
   it's very convenient.  Especially as I do not own a television or have   
   the expense of cable TV
