Imagine my surprise when I logged in to check a very tongue in cheek post about a choice we are making for our family... the title was actually something I said to my kids. I was sharing a thought process, thats it.
I've seen words like sanctimonious, luddite, insult etc and I literally went "Wtf?" before calling a friend and reading the post to her. I asked her "Uhm...is this insulting to people who don't want to do what I do?" she replied "No..I think it's funny!" then went on to crack on me about "Ever hear of a calendar?" and made funnies about my kids looking at it every which way trying to figure out where the "on" button was. Saying things like 'Mother...what IS this odd new piece of tech? How does it work? Where do you put the batteries?'
Yeesh...there's been posts about how people use it for their business, and I specifically said I wasn't talking about business phones.
People need to lighten up a little I think, and not assume I'm calling anyone out. I don't even know HOW to respond to half of the posts. Anything I say will just toss gas on the fire because they are convinced I was insulting them for wanting to use a smart-phone. 
Edited to add: She and her family live on their smart-phones and she laughed, she didn't take it as an insult at all.
