Editor of the Caver. You probably are between the keyboard and chair
more than most of us. Luddite, ain't that rich!
I'm not so much tethered to my iPhone (I turn off the phone regularly)
as having a toolkit in my pocket. Calculator, weather, map,
translator, radio, remote control, dictionary, camera, sky chart,
movie listing, chemical light stick, clock, currency exchange, tip
calculator, bird identification book, text, email, Google, and a dozen
other ways to pass the time while waiting for my tractor...
In one small package.
Don's iPhone.

I like your style, Louise!
I keep my candy bar cell phone in the truck and, usually, turned off.
I hate to sound like a Luddite, but, I can't understand how so many
people's lives revolve around or are tethered to their cell phones,
especially, the iPhones. (Addicted?)
My kids are the biggest culprits, but, as long as they're paying
their own bills, I don't care.
Now, don't get me started on the folks I see every day yacking/
texting on their phones on LBJ!
Unplugged and loving it!

Mine stays turned off and tucked away in my purse (just in case I
need it on the road). I vowed when I got rid of my house phone about
ten years ago and got a cell phone, that it would be for my
convenience only. If people can find my number, they can call me and
leave a message (I generally check it about once a week), but there
are only about five people who have the number (for emergencies).
The tether has been cut and I am not constantly on call.
