I don't own a smart phone a computer or appliances that I need to talk too.

Am I the only one ?

what am I missing ?

Not everyone has access to the Media Center on the Mothership, bendable.


BTW, thanks for the Christmas card.

How do you communicate with the mother-ship?

(I don't use the talking features of my phone. It isn't quicker or better than the touch-screen.)

you are welcome.

how many app's does the average s.f. member have? i wonder

Maybe he goes directly to the sources?

I’ve gone completely the opposite way. My house is completely automated. I can do everything from vaccumming, to water my grass, turn on lights, open doors, and even start my gas fireplace with just my voice.

Poor hapless, app-less Bendable.
Merry Christmas!

My phone is a flip-phone!! I have a simple computer, and zero apps. One doesn't miss what one doesn't have(and not know how to utilize)!!

Bendable is an appless chap.

Bendable has the mailing address to the mother-ship?

Bendable probably utilizes Quantum entanglement to reach the mother-ship.

Have or use? I have about 25 on my phone and use about 3-4 on a regular basis. The others are for occasional or rare use (and if storage ever became an issue on the phone they'd be deleted without hesitation).

I have about 40 - 50 apps on my phone, most I use infrequently, but I'd say about 10 I use on a daily basis.

I resisted the whole smart phone thing, especially texting, for a VERY long time. Strictly for yuppies, don'tcha know...

Well, silly me.

I have several apps that I use regularly:

A-car for tracking gas fill-ups and mileage on my vehicles.

WalMart and Home Depot store apps so I can find stuff vice waiting around for some mouth-breathing associate to notice that I need help.

A grocery store app that lets me clip coupons on-line and have them automatically deducted at the register as well as automatically applying a 2% discount on any store brands.

Less-used apps include a wireless endoscope, a GPS connected speedometer, and a motorcycle parts lookup for a multi-brand dealer.

And for getting in touch with kids and grandkids, texting is the shizznitz, especially for us hearing-impaired types.

Also, Bluetooth connectivity in my car and truck is a blessing. Not only the hands-free aspect, but seeing as it's piped through the vehicles sound system, I can actually HEAR people.

Semaphore, of course.

Maybe bendable is better off than the rest of us

(I actually laughed aloud)

If I never had eaten bacon in my life I wouldn't miss it would I. The same could be said about apps.

Out of curiosity I counted the apps that I use regularly and came up with 13. I was a little surprised at that number.

I eat bacon on a regular basis and I use apps daily and I would sure as hell miss them if they went away.

Once in a while my phone asks me to say a command.

"Shut the Hell up" is a command.
