Still Me Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 for me it’s my: medical history and allergy alert information my emergency contacts my car insurance if I get into an accident or am pulled over my bank my credit cards my alarm clock my work schedule
André Toulon Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Not at all....I'd drop it in the toilet right now if I weren't still playing FFBE
IKMongo Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Ultimately I could live without it. It makes parts of my life easier but I don't need it.
TrigunBebop Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Not very important at all. In fact, it's so unimportant I don't even have one. 1

bnmjy Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Somewhat important. Losing it would cause me some inconvenience, but I can easily get a new one.

crackymckrackin Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 It's my mobile office. I can send and sign contracts, answer email, research property, i do everything on it.
Poof Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Its important for me to have internet and a camera to make money. Phone lets me do that anywhere and is a backup if i lose my computer somehow or become homeless.
PhilosipherStoned Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I couldn't do my current job without it, but there isn't information on it that isn't backed up or saved elsewhere. If I felt like it I could smash this one with a hammer atm and continue my life unphased.
naraku360 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 It's my only phone number, so pretty important. Aside from making it easy to contact me, not super important.
Distortedreasoning Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 pretty important for me. i have some of my crypto wallets on there. i use it to access my email and communicate with other people. mainly i use it to read online when im waiting for something irl.
fuggnificent Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 i drove all the way bzck home...just to find my phone at the bottom of my purse
tsar4 Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Mostly use it to listen to Spotify at work or look up stuff on the web when I'm out. Rarely use it as a phone. 1

They're probably cheating. But remember it's not as much as trying to play the biggest words possible as much as it is strategy. Like you have to place you moves in a way that controls the board. 1

Ginguy Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I used to be somewhat hostile to the devices, sadly now with my new assignments I find it to be invaluable. I still turn it off at 9pm though, to maintain my sanity.
Cau Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 I used to think a lot but I basically use it to talk to one person and for my alarm. So honestly not very.

MEXobiologist Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 1 minute ago, Distortedreasoning said: im glad we past that what? using landlines? not me. not at all. cellphones just give everyone an excuse to be pissed off because you're basically assumed to be at everybodys beck and call at all times. plus, i'm really crotchety about phones being attached to peoples hands and faces when they're already out doing things with others. put that shit away. 2
Distortedreasoning Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 i dont like that either. tho it doesnt bother me much since i wont answer anyone if i dont feel like it. if they really wanna talk they can leave a message and i could call back. but for everything else, cell phones are awesome mini computers. 1

StarPanda Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 It's just important because it's where I look up my dank memes and i use this site

Juice McKenzie Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 it's an mp3, magical contact transmitter and gameboy
Doom Metal Alchemist Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 For non-traditionally-phone functions, I generally prefer my computer. However, I like texting WAY more than voice-to-voice calling. I also like how I can bring my phone with me in any room of the house (as well as anywhere outside the house), but I can also turn it off when I want. So it's like the best of both worlds, either I can communicate from anywhere or I can choose to shut everyone out at the click of a button. I use mobile banking. I could figure out how to use the bank's website on my comp, but I don't feel like it. Since I use the mobile app to deposit checks, I don't feel the need to figure out their desktop site. That's probably the only exception to my "prefer to do it on the computer" rule. For "prefer to do on my comp, but can be very useful on phone" is when I am CD shopping in a brick-and-mortar music store, and I see an album cover/name that catches my eye that I do not recognize, but it looks like something I may like. Get out the cell phone, get on Safari and look up reviews of the album and decide whether or not to buy it based on that. When I'm out and about waiting for something to happen/start, listening to music on my phone makes killing the time infinitely more enjoyable. If I'm waiting for my name to be called or something and I want to make sure I can hear, I play solitaire instead (I don't really care about games, but its something to do while I'm waiting for something). For pretty much my entire adult life until maybe like last year or 2016, I would listen to the radio every time I would drive somewhere in my car. Well in recent years I've been fed up with the radio, so now I play my phone's iPod app on shuffle through a blue-tooth speaker that fits in my drink-holder. So much better than the radio. I love the notes app on my phone. I use it to makes notes of all kinds of things. The Reminder app USED to be great. For some reason somewhere along the line, the timer that would tell the app when to pop the reminder up stopped working. Like I would set it, and it would immediately unset. The reminder would still be there, but it never pops up without me specifically accessing it. The point of the Reminder app is so it pops up at the right time so I don't forget about something! Oh well. Love the weather and calendar apps. I guess weather is another thing I prefer on the phone than the computer, but I don't have a weather app on my comp. I use the calendar app on my phone when I'm not by my computer. Sometimes while I'm out waiting for something, I'll check my email, facebook, craigslist, letgo, ebay... but all those I prefer to do on the comp.
Vamped Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Not very important, I like to have it while I'm driving in case of an emergency so I don't have to bother any strangers. But I don't even have reception to use it at work so .... its usually just in my bag and I don't use it much at home either.
DragonSinger Posted March 8, 2018 Posted March 8, 2018 Pretty important. Cellphones give me the ability to write notes wherever I am or respond to my publisher quickly if something happens, and the top reason is if I have a medical emergency outside of the house.
