Go To Cell- No Thanks

 More and more, I am forced to bend (literally) to the commands of my cell phone that I seldom use. Out of choice. But big companies think they have found a whole new way to insist that "everyone has a cell phone unless they are over seventy". That's me and a bunch of other people.  Some of us have cells but use them only for  specific practical purposes. For me, my cell phone,  is  for calling a taxi or other emergencies. Otherwise, I can't stand the thing. First of all, I do not want to pack this piece of plastic around with me all day long. It doesnt' run  me. Second of all, I have no juvenile need to be in touch with everyone on my caller list. I have better things to do all day than "chat". Third of all, if the thing runs out of juice, I could care less because that frees me. But. Certain large companies, namely, the one that runs my cell phone, have come up with what they think is a dandy idea. The squiggle box, they think, is the answer to everything. You somehow aim your cell phone at the squiggle box and you can find the menu of the restaurant you are standing front of. You can point at the squiggle box and find out at the theatre you are waiting in line of to locate your seat. Or when your wifi at home goes down, all you have to do is use the app on your cell phone and shine it at the device that isn't working and it will be fixed. When my wifi went down, I called the company and the tech was very snarky when I told him I didn't use my cell for that. It ended up with me on my knees under the "box"at his direction, with a paper clip and a mirror to find the tiny hole in the lovely modern white box on my wall, to start up  my very modern wifi digital system. It worked and the little green light was on again. Thanks to my knees, a paper clip and a small mirror. No cell phone necessary TYVM! 

TYVM!
