Here a land line cost more than a mobile solution.
In regard to the social aspect, then i agree on that is how it have become, but i also feel it is sick - bordering insane, i strictly keep my social life off the phone, so i would not TXT a happy birthday to any of the few people i wish that for, i will say that to their face when i see them, even if it is a month or two after their birthday.
But all in my family minus my old mother and father are on social media, and are probably severely infected by that decease.
Even if i have now carried a phone again close to a decade, i cant say i have become more of a fan of them, and ATM my goal still are to become phone free again when my mother die.
At least that is how i feel, but it might still change, i have flip flopped on things before.
I am so glad people do not call me or text me much, though texts i am much better mentally equipped to handle.
