Geez, looking at that list you call "computer work", you must work for the public service.

Geez, looking at that list you call "computer work", you must work for the public service.Man, your “phone” is a lot more than just a phone.
Sure, I do use my phone for calls and texts, but I also use it for the following.
1, watching videos
2, listening to music
3, reading books, annual reports etc
4, it’s my car key
5, camera
6, internet searches
7, navigation
8, calculator
9, calender
10, emails
11, shopping list
12, games
13, controlling my aircon
14, controlling lights
15, weather
17, alarm clock
18, credit card
19, multitude of apps
18, shopping
19. Ordering food
20. Banking
21. Webcasts, podcasts etc
Etc etc etc
I do more “computer work” from my phone these days than I do at my computer.
Nah not for me just a phone with a handful of uses you have listed. Definitely NO banking or money matters on it ubder any circumstances. I trust no one.Man, your “phone” is a lot more than just a phone.

So you don’t do any internet banking or anything? Or just not on your phone?Nah not for me just a phone with a handful of uses you have listed. Definitely NO banking or money matters on it ubder any circumstances. I trust no one.
Nah, I am self employed, running my own investment operation.Geez, looking at that list you call "computer work", you must work for the public service.

Usually im a all cash, no plastic no trace kind of guy, nothing to hide but nothing to show as well.So you don’t do any internet banking or anything? Or just not on your phone?
I kinda look at the phone as no different to a lap top or desk top computer as far as safety go.

I am a dying breed when it comes to cash, but I hardly use a desktop/laptop anymore 99% of things can be done on a smartphone and on the go.I am an all plastic, give me points to upgrade my flights to business class kinda guy, hahahaha.
Plus I hate coins, the worst thing about spending cash is all the change you have to deal with, especially troublesome in foreign currencies, I carry a small amount of cash for emergencies or that sushi shop that only takes cash (but they are getting rare) other than that I am all plastic.

Yet you trust gummint?Nah not for me just a phone with a handful of uses you have listed. Definitely NO banking or money matters on it ubder any circumstances. I trust no one.
I would also add that a natural solar flare of strong intensity would burn all electronics, and it is not a matter of if but when.Cyclone Gabrielle makes a great point about cash
I found the plastic card difficult to use in Europe, a lot of places didn't recognise our visa card, especially unmanned petrol stations which was a real problem.I am an all plastic, give me points to upgrade my flights to business class kinda guy, hahahaha.

I haven’t had any trouble yet, but as I said I keep a small amount of cash incase I get stuck, and in the USA for tips etc, but other than that I hate using cashI found the plastic card difficult to use in Europe, a lot of places didn't recognise our visa card, especially unmanned petrol stations which was a real problem.
Each to their own but even though I'm pretty keen on electrical things, I really don't need an app to turn my lights on.13, controlling my aircon
14, controlling lights
One of the more stressful situations I can recall was coming to a toll gate, a physical barrier, and realising the only method of payment I had that it might accept was an Australian credit card.I found the plastic card difficult to use in Europe, a lot of places didn't recognise our visa card, especially unmanned petrol stations which was a real problem.
it’s not just on / off though for the lights, can set timers, change colour, dim etc. and when you are laying in bed and realise your wife left the lounge room light on, it’s nice to turn it off without getting out of bed.Each to their own but even though I'm pretty keen on electrical things, I really don't need an app to turn my lights on.
Good old fashioned switches around here.....
I get it.it’s not just on / off though for the lights, can set timers, change colour, dim etc.
We have switches two ?I get it.
But..... switch is dead simple and shouldn't go wrong.
Bit like cash which I've used on three occasions in the past few years. Two of those were after the big storm - no EFTPOS but cash worked just fine at the local shops.
No all banking via computer, and anything that I consider important also via computer. Phone is just a phone.So you don’t do any internet banking or anything? Or just not on your phone?

Ah we hold a couple of grand for safe keeping and emergencies, like when the credit card was scammed on a Friday. Card cancelled but fortunately cold hard folding was there.I haven’t had any trouble yet, but as I said I keep a small amount of cash incase I get stuck, and in the USA for tips etc, but other than that I hate using cash
