And sure, I could carry around all that stuff, but why would I when I could just carry a phone that has all that and more. And I wouldn't want to have to go home just to contact someone. Or have someone have to call multiple numbers to reach me. It can be pointless for some people to have cell phones. But for others, it's very useful as a tool and more... Maybe if you're not near a phone then ok. I rarely need a camera or GPS and will take them when necessary. My point being how can anyone tolerate the freaking costs. Or worse try to rationalize them. No wonder younger generations have little savings. Maybe you don't, but that doesn't mean other people are exactly the same. For someone who is in the military (Like myself), having a GPS at the ready whenever is great. You can easily get moved to a new base in a city or state you've never been in. And it really helps to get around. Or when you go on TDY or a deployment. And most people don't always carry a GPS around on those occasions. Especially if they already have a cellphone with that on it. And a camera can be useful, too. Especially when we're trying to explain to someone what was wrong with the jet. A video or picture helps. And most of the time, camera's themselves weren't allowed. And most of the time, you won't be near a phone when working. But you will need to text/call people to get the right tools or parts. So, that's why I say it depends on the person and what they need it for. Also, most of the time, I realize that people seem to be out most of the time when they make or receive calls. At least, the people I call and receive calls from. And my family. And most of my co-workers and such. Obviously, I can only base this off of the people I know. But they usually seem to be out of the house when I call them... The cost sucks, but when it comes to smartphones, they can actually do a lot. And carrying a phone is much better than carrying a laptop, GPS, camera, etc. all at the same time when a phone can do all that on it's own. And it's either a similar size, if smaller than the rest. That's why it's actually not hard to rationalize. And they are some cheap plans. And you can even get certain smartphones cheap. Not the newest ones, but they're still smartphones... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
