I don't have a smart phone (but I do have an older generation flip phone) and won't get one if I can help it. I am still surprised on how distracted everyone is with their phones. Luckily I know people that have a smart phone but still can put them down and read a book, have an intelligent conversation without looking at a screen, and who don't take picture after picture of themselves. Maybe it is because I am of the "older" generation (I am 48 years old) and we still remember a slower, less narcissistic time when people and communities were important. Hang in there @drutter . I am thinking that there will be several splits in the "new world order." There are many people going back to the land that use some technologies but, I am betting, that they won't put a chip in their bodies and probably will be creative enough to find away around the system. We are being taught to feel helpless and go to the government for our problems. I believe we can break the programming and find a better and healthier way of life. Take care!
