Ah, my friend ... I do agree that smart phones can be quite handy ... and I have fleetingly thought about trading in my flip phone for one from time to time. I just can't bring myself to do it ... yet, anyway. I'm not trying to lambaste anyone for having one ... I just think that weak-willed and/or young, inexperienced people are highly susceptible to allowing their smart phones to turn them into withdrawn, enthralled zombies.
