>>"They're cool"

Pretty much sums it up, for me.

But I don't even own a cell phone, anymore... so probably not the intended iPhoneDuo demographic.

This "cool" mentality is the flaunt/sickness driving planned-obsolescence, in my very-jaded opinion.

Why does a dog lick his balls? Because he can..!

Are there things you can't do not having a cell phone? I wish I could do it but there's always _sonething_

I can't legally pay for parking in my city.

So I don't. Fines are very low (almost not worth paying, entirely), so I don't sweat it (and know where lots of "free" parking is).

Definitely this makes scheduling important – and then following through. I will typically arrive a bit early, and not leave until (they're) fifteen minutes late.

It is cumbersome but worthwhile; if I had family (or was "on call") this would obviously be impossible.
