Simplify life with a smart cell phone? Â Yes!
Reduce stress? Maybe, but probably not.Â

 With a  smart phone, you can simplify life by  getting  rid of your alarm clock.
But if you forgot to charge your cell phone battery, watch out!
‘I forgot to charge the cell phone’ is akin to the  lame excuse  that ‘ the dog ate my homework’ for the under thirty crowd.
No more need (assuming that your cell phone  is charged)  for a flashlight by your bedside or for a calculator.  That’s true. And, no more need for  that wrist watch  which  you strapped around your arm every morning.
You can get rid of the land line and stop paying that monthly bill. Besides, so few people call anymore except for people whom you don’t want to talk to. But when that BIG STORM hits — like it did in New York City  and the electricity is out for days — having phones connected to phone lines comes in  darn handy.  But then you do need  to know how to use a pay phone, a talent many in the  under thirty generation have  not mastered.
With a smart cell phone, no more need for a personal address book or Rolodex file?
True.  But having all Your Eggs in One Basket  can be stressful when you can’t find your cell phone, you  misplace your eye glasses or your long term or  short term memory abilities  are not as tip top as they used to be.
Some say that if  you  buy the right app, you can get rid of most of your keys.
Perhaps.  But, for sure,  that does not apply to  smart cell phones made by Microsoft Windows — which only has 2% of the market and a dwindling app store.  And don’t try to find an app for keys if you buy the newest smart phones by Blackberry.
With a smart cell phone, you  can sell  or give away your record/cassette tape player.  But would you?
Yes, now you can listen to your music — and  at the volume  you want —  whenever you want.  However, for those who remember the richness of great sound equipment,  the music you hear may sound rather  thin compared to what you remember.
Well, using a smart phone is in keeping with at least ONE rule of Thoreau:
- The rule is to carry as little as possible. [Journal, 22]

What app for keys by which android phone opens my front door and my car door??? That’s the android smart phone I want to get. Surely there is an android smart phone that can do more than iPhone in this area?? How about an app that turns on the light by the front door?
