Source: Tulsa World, Okla.self storageOct. 20--Here is an update on life without a smartphone.I don't know what I'm missing because I have never had a smartphone.I had a silly phone, a portable device that cost $10 and fell twice into the dog's water dish and was then placed in the miscellaneous drawer that holds chargers. Who knows what these chargers still charge, if anything. Their cords and wires are badly tangled.One day a gigantic ball of chargers could replace a two-story ball of twine as a tourist attraction.The reason for not having a smartphone started as something of a gimmick for the occasional column and has grown into a stand against unnecessary excess.Check it out, the chief selling points for smartphones are things that could be done better in person, breaking off a romantic engagement, for example.Good gadgets: What would I do if danger presented itself on the open road?I have OnStar in my new car.It's true, many of the chief reasons for owning a vehicle have little to do with actual motoring -- SiriusXM satellite radio and OnStar, for starters.OnStar is a communication system that enables a driver to carry on a hands-free conversation.You buy minutes and punch a button and recite a number; i迷利倉's that simple. I just bought 300 minutes for 10 bucks.You can also get turn-by-turn directions and report trouble or mayhem.What would I do if I was out somewhere and saw something that needed to be documented?Well, I have a camera.I also have a laptop and have ready access to all the important stuff like what's trending now: Linda Kozlowski's divorcing of Crocodile Dundee, and Lara Flynn Boyle's face work that has made her hard to recognize in public.I'm not a deep-woods kind of guy. As far as breaking news goes, I'm seldom far from an Internet connection, or from somebody who could tell me what headline is on the first screen up at the moment, like this one: News Anchor Has Makeup Malfunction.Capabilities: I can copy, scan, pan, surveil, record, deposit, forward, edit, debit and doctor.And I have with my own bare hands, and with only five calls to three different toll-free tech numbers, hooked a decent sound system to my TV.So far as I can tell, what I am missing by not having a smartphone is the ability to walk or drive and gossip or misbehave.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Tulsa World (Tulsa, Okla.)
