I can understand your wife's concern to a degree, if you are travelling the road less travelled and something happens to you... However I agree they are becoming more insidious in society having 'people' nearly walking into you because they are heads down on their phones is maddening.My wife used to say when I went for a ride "Would you like to take my phone?" I would usually answer "F**k no". Then I was told I was having one by my wife. Had one for two years, they are a boil on humanity's a**ehole, I literally hate them. I begrudgingly accept it has it's uses. My wife and son say banking on a phone/online is easy. No. Pay with a phone. No. Everyone in a pub or restaurant LOOK UP ffs life is occuring and you are missing it.
Yes I get her concern, I may have been known to get into the middle of nowhere Flipside is one of the useful (begrudging old man) pointsI can understand your wife's concern to a degree, if you are travelling the road less travelled and something happens to you...

Flipside, yesterday I was fishing with friends, there was a lovely happy little bird singing away, I downloaded an app (wanted me to sign up, so binned that.). Downloaded a second app, recorded bird singing, I now know it was a Sedge warbler, happy days.
I think the way someone uses a mobile phone, can tell you far more about the user than the phone, don't blame the machine blame the Human operator...Yes I get her concern, I may have been known to get into the middle of nowhere Flipside is one of the useful (begrudging old man) points

but the complete term is "jack of all trades, master of none, but certainly better than a master of one.The 'Tech' world has never heard of the term 'Jack of all trades. Master of none.
I do this with an SLR though, it's often the reason I'm visiting the gardens/homes/parks in the first place.Same when visiting gardens/homes/parks/restaurants etc so many have their heads down or spend their time trying to get “the shot”.
Yes, but that is a dedicated hobby, I do that with my camera, phone camera is for snapshots.I do this with an SLR though, it's often the reason I'm visiting the gardens/homes/parks in the first place.
