Oh I can see they have a place for some people in some situations. Plus there are those that don't care about the cost, they just 'want it'. I have no problem with that, nothing to me. But I come from a time when there were no cell phones. No internet, no laptops, no desktops. We all got along just fine. Now they're here, and for some they are tools. Or just fun. LOL, I was told by my daughter in law that we 'must be the only people in the US that don't text'. Now that made me laugh. I have used one. They are cool. I have been on rides with people who pulled them out to use as a GPS...'You are here'....and it was very helpful. But not necessary by any means. I was riding long before any of these techie things were ever around. Learned to read maps, tell directions by the signs of nature, dead reckoning, all that bs. But it all has a place and for some it has become necessary I guess. They are cool but something I will probably never own.
