The pledge and true "selfie"
I PLEDGE to myself and to my family, for which I stand, that for one day I will unplug it, power it off and shut it down, in order to look up and look around. I will set aside the small screen to once again see the big picture. On this day I will not use any smart phones, tablets, phablets, desktops, laptops, notebooks, video chats, instant messaging, emails, tweets, grams that are instant, links that are in, or faces that have been booked. And most of all, I pledge to get my head out of my app, with liberty and just us, for all.

Cute thread and good topic. Yet here I am on my smartphone. *embarrassed*

I have never yet owned a smart phone. My dumb phone does exactly what I need, make/receive a phone call, and send/receive a text once in a while. I have a desk top pc at home and at work, I don't need 24/7 internet. Probably 75% of the time I don't even answer my phone, that is what voice mail is for. If it is important they can leave a message, I will check it when I get a chance.

The job I have basically requires a smart phone. Besides the obvious phone (we don't use the office phone) text messages go flying, pictures of some job site condition or drawing issue get sent. I send texts to my kids, mostly my son, but not often. I have maybe a half dozen apps. 95% of the time, when it's at home, it sits.
