We walked away from having "smart" phonesThe two iphones sit in a drawer, unused. Our plan is now talk & text only. I never answer my phone, if they don't leave a message, it was not important anyways. I have my wife's older hand me down ipad which seems bullet proof. I do like that device. Her current ipad gets heavy daily use for her unwinding from the workday, she just loves them. The old thumwheel style ipod she has still works fine, just won't hold a charge, the new ipods won't connect to the Bose Wave, I picked up an adaptor cord, but she doesn't like it because it looks janky, so there we have two Bose Waves that are also now useless to us. Piles of expensive electronics that become junk because of incompatible ever changing connectors. I'm well on my way to becoming a grumpy old man LOL,

Lucky you for finding the strength to disconnect! My wife and I are both tech addicts (I am a lot more so than she is) and are extremely active on social media. We both have smartwatches, too. Oh well, I guess there are worse things a person can be addicted to.
