I keep it in my back pocket.

And then when you try to get away from your phone you get in trouble. "Why didn't you reply to me within one nanosecond!" lol

That's the point of a phone. It's to carry them everywhere. What's the problem. Don't carry yours if you don't want to.

How else am I going to call my wife 3 times while I’m going down her shopping list confused?

What if

Marketing, the science of exchanges, the name phone is just an idea. Hand computer

Dude. All due respect. My grocery list is kept in my phone reminders. Dr. appts too. Daily planner, etc. I avoid calls, callers, people, conversations. They put ants on me. They usually signify bad juju. If you’re not on #nostr or texting, you’re unlikely to be a big blip on my radar.

Then I found out there are podcasts and if I do not listen to one I feel I am missing out an opportuni...

True. It’s a sad environment when walking in public and look around. People engage less with each other. Same in the gym. Everyone is on their phone during breaks.

To be honest, I really don't even need a phone number. I take my phone with me to the grocery store, however, because that's where I keep my grocery list.

I ignore my phone a lot but my wife doesn't like that, lol
