Smartphones

So I do not have a smartphone.  In an age where everyone has one of these including my boyfriends parents and my mom, I feel the need to be stubborn, retro, and cool and refuse to get one.  However I have recently gotten many complaints from friends and family that I do not return text messages (this is because I hate this feature on phones, I am pretty sure you can't buy a phone without it) and I do not return phone calls.  

So I was thinking since people seem so attached to their phones now that they have smartphones, maybe I would feel the same way?  

Let's work this out using a pros and cons list.

Pro

1. I might be attached to my phone if I end up having a smart phone.

2. I might actually keep my phone charged, instead of forgetting about it until I need to make a phone call, and then returning everyones phone calls a week later.

3. I can like do stuff on there?  What is it? ok guys I looked it up twitter, instagram, facebook updates, apps for stuff like weather and news blah blah.

4. Oh, I can check my email on the go...and browse all the websites I browse on my ipad and desktop.

5. Oh I will be able to take random photos...that might be fun.

Con

1. Well data plans are expensive

2. People will contact me and than I will be forced to respond back....

3. I will have to update meaningless junk because I no longer have an excuse.

4. Smartphones are bigger than my current phone, and it won't fit in my pocket.

5. Umm I hate social networking sites, the thought of updating them makes me want to throw up

That's about it.  Yeah I duno same amount on both sides.  This exercise did not help at all.
