My friends have been complaining that it’s gotten harder to reach me lately. That didn’t bother me very much. But it was kind of annoying during my divorce when my lawyer was calling me during court appearances and I was not getting the calls.

It wasn’t be being over zealous in how I was receiving my call, it seems the iPhone has a “do not disturb” (“concentration” en français) feature that blocks calls from pretty much everyone. Normally, that would be an asset for me since I don’t talk to people I don’t want to talk to now that I can have a private life.

On the other hand, there are some people I do want to talk to. And they are on my contacts list. It seems the iPhone blocked everyone except for favourites, and it was blocking them as well.

My landline is pretty much useless since I am usually not at that location. I am thinking about getting rid of it. OTOH, you can get me anywhere in the world there is cell service.

Nothing like landing in a foreign country to be greeted with the correct time and a message that they are tacking a daily fee on your service.

SHUT OFF THE PHONE!!!

While technology has its upsides. It’s best not to be too wedded to it.

And definitely not trust it to make decisions for you.
