Not Everyone Who Prefers Flip Phones is a Luddite

12. Yes. Everyone has his or her own criteria.

I don't mind smart phones. My wife uses one and updates it frequently. I'm the tech support person, though, for her phone. When something isn't working the way she wants it to or some feature disappears, she hands it to me, I fix it and hand it back to her.

My favorite story about that was the time when she gave her iPhone and said, "It stopped ringing when someone calls." I asked what she had done to try to fix it, and she told me about what she had done. I fiddled with it for about 30 seconds, handed it back to her and called it from my landline phone. It rang just fine. She asked what I had done to fix it. I told her that I moved the little switch right above the volume buttons that silences the phone, so it would ring again. "I hate you," she said, as she laughed and went back to what she was doing.
