Try posterity. It lasts longer...

I felt that was wrong as soon as I typed it.  Although I plan to take pictures of my life as it prospers for posterity reasons. 

Actually that word works too, and I appreciate your advice.

In the past, I've done some susceptibility testing (and mods) to determine susceptibility of some electronic equipment to external EMI forces. It's a real pain. And that was before cell phones became commonplace! I can just imagine it now.

What you DON'T want is for some guy walking through the refinery getting a cell phone call and sending the flowmeter readings squirrely and triggering an unforeseen or unpredictable "event". Or the nuke plant. Or the distillery. Or the Viagra factory.

Used to be we had to worry about the guy walking through the plant with the walkie-talkie. Now everyone has a cell phone. Yeesh.

I just bought a huge phone.  It has excellent front and rear cameras as well as video.  I have no pictures of my family and friends for prosperity but that changes now so get ready!

samsung galaxy j7.  I presently have a Samsung 3G that works great but the battery needs charging twice a day.  

@Captain Obvious you're next!

Flip phones are like sling shots. 

 

Best present ever.  Thanks Mom.

It has a magnifier for my old eyes, flashlight and an unbelievable camera.  

I agreed and accepted more stuff this morning during set up. I'll probably get a $1,000 bill next month.

Oh boy... You've been reeled in now.

And, you can probably  use it as a mobile "hotspot" for your computer or iPad.  You now have more computing power in your hand than the first astronauts had in their space capsules.
