I love my stupid phone. It does exactly what I want: I can make and receive phone calls almost anywhere, and that's about as good as it gets.

I also don't have a TV, which is hardly a sacrifice because I can watch an amazing number of shows on-line, and it doesn't particularly bother me that I sometimes have to wait for a while to get a show. And whenever serious breaking news happens, such as deadly tornadoes, or an assassination attempt, the local TV stations all go to live streaming.
