Behind the times.

I look at my phone about 5 minutes a day and seldom take it with me.I use my PC at home and have a chromebook in my trunk I look at once a month or if I am having lunch with someone I don't want to talk to.

I carry a flip phone occasionally

You are ahead of me I have never had a cell phone of any kind.
The digital camera I use was purchased decades ago for the wife 3.2 mega pixels.

I got it because I took a picture with an old film 35mm camera of an Eagle swooping down picking up a shad near Little City OK.
The picture from the old film camera was all grainy and you could barely make out a bird in the picture.
That sucked.
I have stepped up in HER camera department though with Nikon DSLR.
Got kids mama needs good pictures. and needs to push the button and have the camera shoot not wait for a few seconds and then decide to shoot.

Hmmm. You surprised me. I figured you for a guy who bought the newest smartphone, iPad, iPod and television every year.

You an me both. Corporate keeps insisting I install my work email and corporate access and property digital apps on my phone... I keep telling them if they want me that connected, they'll supply me a phone. Luckily, they're too cheap to do that. I lavish in those few weeks a year I get away and turn airplane mode on.

I have a non smart phone, nokia X2. Its kind of like a blackberry, but not. It does what I need it to, text and make calls.

We bought our parents iPads for their 50th anniversary. I know, sounds like a very out of the box gift but it changed their lives. They don’t go anywhere without them.
As for cell phones, it’s like an electric chain. Mine is work email and work orders ready.

My Mil is so technically challenged that she won’t even pick up the remote on the TV for fear of pushing the wrong button. Leaves it on the same channel and volume setting 24/7.
At the suggestion of someone on OSA in another thread, we covered the remote with paper, leaving only the channel, volume and power buttons exposed. She still won’t touch it.

Just last week I ordered one of these for my grandma. She loves it
