10. I use my smart phone for a number of purposes

I use it to text messages to others. It's convenient and I get faster responses from the people I text.

I check my email accounts so I don't miss anything important. Not that I get anything important but there are some things I need to answer immediately when I'm away from my computer or iPad.

I use a number of apps including ones for a dictionary, translator, calculator, stock market, weather, a local library app, Google Earth, Waze, Marine Traffic since I live on the coast and I want to see what kind of ships are just offshore. I have a couple of games like Candy Crush Saga which I play while waiting at an appointment. I even have an app named Flush that helps me find public restrooms.

One more advantage, I get texts asking me to confirm medical and dental appointments. All I have to do is reply with a "C" and hit send.

Apps are useful for a variety of purpose and if I have an app on my phone I have a use for it.
