My $0.02 worth, I signed up with "tracphone" got the cheepest low-end phone and though it has limitations, its a phone + minimal camera, and the capacity to install a 64g micro SD card . . .

whatever, Maybe some people actually NEED a state-of-the-art top-of-the-line "phone"

but really, for MY take on the subject, why bother . . .

Believe me there are plenty of days I threaten to go back to a Leroy Jethro Gibbs flip phone 😂

Excellent piece. I'm often amazed at how much I struggle to find something to watch these days. As my "smart" TV reminds me, there are a million shows and movies that I must see now...but where to begin? And because I end up not watching much because there is so much, I end up thinking I'm missing out on my cultural education or the times in which I live (or whatever), but that's just me surrendering my independent thought to the psychology of marketing. In reality, I'm no better or worse off than I was back in the 90s as a kid with limited TV time and a few fuzzy channels. And even then, that was too much.

We are enough. This moment is enough. The phone you have is enough. In fact, everything and everyone around you is enough. Except for More. That's too much.

wow man, so many channels & nothing worth watching, I watch some TV, & it never ceases to amaze me the level of B.S. in the commercials, Cigarette advertising has been banned, but at present, DRUGS are advertised on TV { how positively MAD } . . . just a bit of insight into my personal taste in "TV" ( Tel-LIE-vision ) there are re-runs of "My Favorite Martian" available, + silly bits such as but not limited to "UFO" . . . whatever, most of what is produced as "modern" series, being as predictable as an episode of "Dudley Do Right" . . or how about those "Real Housewives of whatever" who writes this stuff(?) EW ! One Recommendation for a series that is pretty good, being Murdoch Mysteries . . . has its funny moments & is actually reasonably entertaining . . .
