Smart phones. I had a nifty Samsung something that did all manner of things. The screen was way too little for my ancient eyes. The teeny ap things were impossible for my fumble fingers. I kept pushing the wrong buttons and calling porn-hub or some such. I had two of them and tossed them in a drawer with my four Kindle machines. I went back to a dumb phone that does one thing, call people and get rob calls. It will text I think but I don't do that because it is a pain in the culo,It does have tetris and a phone book. As for GPS i dug up my road atlas of Texas and a state highway may with Dolph Briscoe on the cover. It still works. No one calls out here in Deer Corn, there is still no service. My land line still works quite well.
