Joined the modern world - new cell phone

Went over to the local AT&T store in Mountain Home, AR and picked up a new cell phone.
Have been using a tiny Sony Xperia phone for the last 8 years. Figured it was time to upgrade. Got the latest and greatest Samsung Note 10. This is one of those $1000 cell phones. Yours for only $35 a month.

Made a crappy little video of the house with it. Image quality is horrible but this loaded pretty fast.
Here's 3 minutes of your life that you won't get back:

    Your post at top says it's 21:24 hours? Crazy, but anyway that looks like prime possum country with a slice of backwoods nature. :)

    I'm using an I phone 5s and really don't want to spend seven or eight hundred for a new phone. But I know it's coming.

    My old tracphone flip phone died so spent big time and got a $50 Rebel G5 Lite tracphone.

    Entered my list of contacts and finally figured out how the text thing works but texting is not my thing.

    Have NO IDEA how to access the other stuff it does, supposedly.
    The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
    We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
    Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.

    I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

    I refuse!

    I enjoy the looks I get when I whip out my flipper :lol:

    I even leave it at my house when I go out and I always think I am the only person over 15 and not in jail or in the hospital within 100 miles that doesn't have a phone.

    I believe that cell phone, while a great tool, are a bane on society and have lead to the destruction of our youths. It has led to people not being able to communicate face to face and kind power in being anonymous. I really hate them but I have one and it doesn't rule my life and I feel fine when I don't have it.

    I have enjoyed my Samsung smartphone but I wish I had my old flip phone back. It was always in my pocket. I never misplaced it.
    I heard that soon all phones will be the smartphone type.
