You're sure you don't make a distinction between smart devices & cellular phones?It's 2018 and practically everybody in our society uses a cellphone. For calls, texts, social media, news, health control, you name it.
How many days do you think you could go without using yours?
If you want to use such language, sure. :tongue-poke:Is it cheating if I can text from my laptop?
Which says a lot about where our society is going regarding privacy but that's a whole other discussion.In this day and age, probably not. It's a necessity when things like roadside call boxes and payphones are not an option anymore should an emergency arise for someone.
I am legit curious to know why you bring this up as a reply to my post. My post was directed more towards emergency situations and requiring a cell phone, not privacy. You could still get along fine with just a feature phone, really.Which says a lot about where our society is going regarding privacy but that's a whole other discussion.
And here's a real-life story on why this is the answer:absolutely not lmao
My point was just that I technically could live more or less the same as I do now, since my laptop can have the functions of my phone anyway, haha. It wouldn't be as convenient for sure, but doable, and that include carrying it around everywhere (although I do bring it with me most days to work anyway, so it wouldn't be a huge change in lifestyle).If you want to use such language, sure. :tongue-poke:
I suppose the question begs to be asked whether you have a phone you text from, or do you carry your laptop everywhere you go---even in the bathroom to text, assuming that is a thing? :laugh-squinted:

Texting in the bathroom isn't something I find necessary, but again, if I had to, that would be doable too.
