I don't like being available 24/7 and then when you can't answer a call immediately, the caller thinks you're avoiding them.
I still don't have a smart phone I still don't send email via my phone I still don't text. I was at an office Christmas party last week and while sitting at the table where there is supposed to be conversation, 3 people were buried in their phones. One guy was playing video games, another was texting, and I have no idea what the third was doing. I've been to diners where there are 4 people at the table and each one is talking or texting to someone else. Why bother dining at the same table? ________________________________ From: "MB Software Solutions, LLC" <[email protected]> To: ProFox Email List <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 6, 2012 11:09 AM Subject: [OT] Long for the days of old (Was Re: [NF] -- Home Color Printer) On 1/6/2012 10:35 AM, Michael Madigan wrote: > It's crazy.

I'm not sure any of you ever feel this way, but there are times where I get so sick of all this technology and long for the days of old where if I wasn't home, you got my answering machine and I got your message when I returned home. I hate paying AT&T $2000/year for phone. I long for the old days of $30/month for a land-based phone. Now it doesn't take me too long to realize that I'd miss a lot of the conveniences of the cell phone, but there's a part of me that loves "old school."
