Do you ever use a calendar, notebook, alarm clock, debit card, camera, bank account, music system ? The list goes on, my smartphone puts all these things in one place, plus it allows me to know where my teenage daughter is

Don't worry, unless you chop off my thumb it can't be accessed. Simple, block phone (i'm a normal person, i have access to other forms of telephony) get new phone, download stuff from Icloud, sorted. You need to move with the times.

I was ahead of the game in the 80’s with the first desktop computer in my office, well before Bill Gates had made it his mission statement. I then went through a succession of pdas and have to admit I would have jumped at the chance of a smartphone in the 90s.

Somewhere along the line though I saw how much we we being manipulated by the Tech giants. Then I realised how much we were becoming dependent on technology. I now choose the best tools for my own requirements. To that end I have no need of a smartphone and know it would in no way improve my life.

I have a smartphone, of course, but I’m afraid I don’t use it to do anything other than make calls and the odd text. It’s pretty hard to get hold of any other type of phone nowadays.

That's fine for you but it doesn't mean the rest of us should do without them as well, which seems to be the argument of most Luddites, they manage without it so we should too.
