I use my phone for calls and text. I browse the Internet if I'm at home, otherwise I find that the world outside actually has quite a lot to offer in the way of entertainment and the internet people will be waiting patiently for me to return, nothing will happen if I step away. I don't own a calculator, I went to school and can use a pen and paper if I can't manage to work something out in my head (which I usually can). I read paper books. If I can't get a certain paper book, I wait until I can and find something else to read in the meantime. I have a calendar on my wall, it has pretty pictures and I can write things on it. I don't own a GPS, I can read a street directory and have a good sense of direction. Ditto with the phone book.
Remember the good old days, where people would phone you at home and if you weren't there, they'd say "oh well, they're not home" and call back later?
I don't WANT to be at other people's beck and call 24 hours a day.

It could be worse
