Who’s Calling?

A friend made an interesting observation the other day. He said, “Isn’t it ironic that we call it a cell phone and yet talking on it is what we do the least?” Ain’t it the truth! That innocuous comment stayed with me for days and caused me to ponder my cell phone usage:

Texting (According to Google, 23 billion texts are sent worldwide each day – 270,000 each second)
Calendar aka FranklinCovey day planner (IYKYK)
Email/Zoom
Camera/Photo Album
Contacts aka old school address book
Dictionary/ThesRus
Music/Podcasts/Movies
Passwords (yep, written down despite WARNINGS)
News/Weather (Enter at your own risk)
All the ‘To Do’ lists
Calculator/Scanner/Copier
Car warranty/student loan forgiveness updates
Social media
Watching my goddaughter anchor the news on KIMT3
Concert ticket depository
Navigation (‘How I miss those paper maps’ said no one ever)
Banking/Bill paying
Stopwatch/Alarm clock
Magnifier (for those of a certain age)
All things travel related
Broncos/Chiefs schedule
Medical history
Keeping up with ‘Karen’ on Next Door

Last but not least, to actually speak to another human being (if I’m lucky)!
