I wish I understood the mentality of having phones and apps take over
every aspect of some peoples lives. What, you can't lock your doors at
night without using your Smartphone? You do realize you're broadcasting
that info, right? Doesn't sound smart to me.

sf used to call me a luddite. I'm not denying it. I simply think
having everything controlled by a telephone is pretty darned stupid. I
can just reach out and turn the lock on the door. Don't need a phone to
do it. I can adjust my thermostat and set it in ranges. Don't need a
phone to do it. I don't need a phone to turn my lights on and off,
either. There are apps for that. Go figure.
