13. I'm 65...and love my smartphone

Fri Feb 14, 2014, 10:45 AM

Feb 2014

I use it a lot, especially for my work. I do elder care and use it to look up information, details of things that come up in conversations, text with family members re: concerns, scheduling; check my emails, keep all my contact info, use the camera to capture special moments. I use mine a lot.

I was very leery at first when my son wanted to get one on a two for one special a few years back....swore I would never use it, but after a week, I was hooked.

And because of the current economic conditions the fact that I will be working until I die, I am glad I have the device.
