I Gave a Bounty Hunter $300. Then He Located Our Phone

2. There's a good reason we hang onto our stupid phones.

No, we can't text, get email, surf the toobz, take pictures, listen to music or whatthefuckever else people do with their smartphones.

I have a nice iPod mini I still keep loaded with music and playlists, for listening to music.

I have a little digital camera about the same size as the iPod mini for taking pictures.

I have an ancient (by tech standards) off-brand e-ink based reader with more than 500 books on it, and no internet connection.

If I really want to get email or surf the toobz I can fire up an elderly Samsung Android tablet. Or (much more likely) just sit down at my desktop computer, at home or work, and open an enhanced privacy browser.

I get by.

I'm sure someone somewhere is getting more info about me than I'd like them to have. But I'm also sure that no one can figure out where I am unless I tell them. Among other benefits.

Yeah, it's extra trouble.

My privacy, my control over information about myself, is worth it.

disgustedly,
