Smart . . .


. . . phones . . .


. . . are honestly and truthfully a wonderfully convenient and efficient tool.  Not only communication via the internet, phone service and email but all the computing capabilities all at your fingertips any time of day (or night).  Magnificent.

But I don't have one. At least not yet. I most certainly have no quarrel with the power and convenience these devices provide.

Back around 2003, when I established my 'Gonzo' brand of independent music, I forced myself to explore marketing possibilities on the web from websites to social media to all the free (and some paid) music promotion and distribution services.  More than ten years later, I am still exploring.  Not only is there a wealth of potential to explore, new opportunities become available almost hourly.

So, you may be thinking, all the more reason to have a smart phone to enable yourself to access this wealth any and all times.  Well . . . yes.   But, in truth, I most certainly am not a 'gadget' guy and do not need to own the latest and greatest of all tech things available at any given time.  I do, in fact, spend more hours on the laptop than many people with whom I have much in common. And I don't need to resolve questions or uncertainties regarding topics of conversation with others instantaneously.  I still am able to research such things at a later time.

I don't intend to discontinue explore web potential to market music.  But once I close the laptop, I don't feel the need to have all that capability in my back pocket for instant access.  When I need to make a phone call, I simply pull out my ancient Samsung fliptop and make one.  No need for a smart phone. . .

. . . at least not yet.
