Friends always ask me why I'm glued to my smart phone. I tell them it's made my life easier. Everything is in one place. I use my calendar daily and record everything. It's like a journal because five years ago I know exactly what I did on a given day. I don't have a GPS system in my car, but Google maps gets me everywhere I go. I can get the latest road report from my local radio station and watch TV from my phone anytime I want in Canada. That comes in handy if you are sitting in ER for hours. I also have books on my phone. I use the timer for my dryer as I don't always hear the end of cycle chime. I don't know if I'm getting deaf or my machine is getting old. Both are probably true. In another country, it will translate for you! I could go on and on.
I've started using AI! It scares people my age but I ask it everything. It's like your mother or husband who knows it all. However, this may be more accurate.

It's wise to organize your apps or it will be frustrating for some.
