This old comic came up on my Facebook today. Wow.

I deliberately don't take my phone with me everywhere. I don't want to be instantly contactable.

Neither Martin nor I have smartphones. My mobile phone is for emergency use and spends 99.9% of the time switched off. Martin has a dumb phone that he usually has somewhere, but is rarely contactable on it. We are not really mobile phoning types. Which given we're both computer science graduates and Martin is a software and hardware engineer still is quite unusual in our field. But equally we're probably both on the spectrum, and not really fans of the phone as a concept full stop!

Snap! My degree was in environmental and computer sciences.

I don't switch mine off as much as you do, but it doesn't bother me if it isn't on.
