With all the new smart phones and touch phones rolling out, many out there are still just looking for a simple cheap mobile phone. Let’s face it, all the technology in the world is meaningless if you don’t know how to use it. For most people over the age of 45, trying to dial out on a touch phone can be quite the challenge. I’m not trying to say anything bad about them, but watching my mom try to make a phone call on her smart phone is becoming quite painful. Missed are the days of the Nokia 6800 where a simple phone call doesn’t require one of memorize a series of button presses just to reach the number pads.
I really do enjoy those old phones. As much as I enjoy seeing and playing with new technology, a phone’s number one job is still to make a phone call. The cheap mobile phone of the pass does that just fine, in fact, that’s pretty much all it does. Modern day technology attempts to integrate all the useful and useless things into one. For many people, all these extra bells and whistles just goes to waste.
Do your parents a favor, forget all the smart phones and simply get them a cheap mobil phone that works. By doing so, your also doing yourselves a favor as these phones are cheap so it’s easier on your pockets, and no real worries about breaking them. Remember, while new technology are brittle like water bubbles, old cheap phones are built like a tank. They’ll survive even the hardest of beating, as long as you keep it a good distance from the pool.
