    Most of the "updates" promise a better "user experience", but it often
    goes along with reduced functionality, which, for me at any rate,
    makes for a bad experience.

    For many of us there is a "point of no return". I think we reach that
    point much quicker when my age (90).

    Our kids, grands and great grands have a cell phone in their hands
    24/7/365 (seems like); I make and receive a few calls each week on
    mine.

    Our sons have at least one computer, and iPad and a cell phone - all
    open. I use one at a time and some not for a day or two. They charge
    the phone every night - mine is usually dead for a day or two before I
    charge. It's not dementia - I just don't care.

    I wonder if Siri, or Cortana would kiss where the sun don't shine.

    But that door bell that lets you look at the cell phone to see who is
    there might be worthwhile.

    I don't know any Joneses to keep up with.

    We have one, and it is! You can say you can’t get to the door right now and be hundreds of miles away.
