I love my smart phone and my Ipad. I can travel through the mountains and remain in in contact with my friends around the globe, posting pictures on FB of the majesty of the mountains God created.
I have every phone number and email address at my finger tips. I can google just about anything, but especially use the maps to find my way around when I am in new cities or towns.
I can read theology, and post here while my husband drives the car. I carry all my favourite Christian music with me, in playlists appropriate to what I am doing. I can find a recipe on Pinterest, or a new kitchen on Houzz. I can read the news, watch a youtube video and find out what the weather is! Yep, I use a lot of data!
I do use my phone as a phone, daily with my kids. Yes, that is one function of a smart phone. Being a phone! LOL
