I know of 2 people that do not have cell phones or the internet. Both are house bound due to medical reasons and they are living in the dark ages. I guess they rely on old phone books and old Yellow Pages. They are so out of touch with everything it is a shame. They are both intelligent women who chose not to advance with the rest of the world and they are not about to begin now. I don’t think you have to be glued to your phone or computer all day, but at least have a working knowledge of them. It would make life a lot easier for them.
