I'm 70 and as a late adopter I didn't have any kind of cell phone until seven years ago. Having a phone for emergencies is good thing, but it seems to have made us a lot less independent and more worried about a lot of things that never happen. I only carry my phone in case I get a flat...so that I can call my wife. In the event of something more substantial, I always figured I would just flag down a car and take it from there. But that's me.
