I hate it - the whole world revolves around a cell phone.
On the computer, at certain sites, I can't JUST have a user ID and password. No; I also need to answer several 'secret' questions. But that isn't enough either - they have to send a special code to my cell phone so that I can enter that too so that I may PAY them money.....ARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I knew we were in trouble when I went to the movies and there was no ticket booth!

@perrone1 My thought exactly Tony. I get frequently po'ed at how our generation has to a great extent been kind of dismissed and pushed aside by the current generation and technology. It feels like the old adage of "get on the bus or be under it". That and the frequent rather exasperated attitude/response of how dimwitted we are that we just don't get it. There are of course many great things modern technology offers, along with some that are not so great.

I absolutely refuse to have a mobile telephone. I have a very nice Apple phone that Santa brought me which is still in its box. I also have - somewhere - the cheapest Nokia that I used in case I got lost in China twenty years ago. When I finally surrender to verification codes being sent to my mobile, guess which mobile they'll be sent to 🖕?

Sadly the development of technology in our daily lives has, along with it, greatly expanded the capability and frequency of fraud schemes; which it seems to me, to be quite unmanageable from an effective enforcement and prosecutorial perspective.
