It isn't yet.

So far I've avoided having a smart phone, I've not had a mobile phone since flip phones - I went off always being contactable about that time, having had bleeding edge sat phones for decades.

I have a land line, an answering machine, travel, purchase, am part of several overlapping businesses and deliver work for clients.

eMail, cash, debit cards still get me by <shrug>
