When I first had one, I used to leave it at home, but that sort of defeats the object. So now, when I go out, it's wallet and phone, every time. Just in case. I don't walk round with my eyes glued to the screen, though. As and when, that's all, as and when.
Havent got a tablet but weve 3 ipads in the house. Never use (bought for the children) them and theres always one available. All internet I use my S10.
Android for me. Dont think id ever buy an iphone. Bought by Daughter the IPhone 11 as thats what she wanted though.
There's nothing wrong with it, all I'd say that it's poor manners, take your kids out and at least take an interest or pretend to. How can any parent expect their kids to interact and show a little bit of discipline, when they're pissing about on their phones way to often. Probably on social media, the lonely twats.
my thoughts exactly
The kid came running over to me , he was only about 3 , right next to a very sharp drop into the river where I was fishing
The parents were at least 25 yards away , he could have fallen in
I said out loud on purpose .....hello little man , you can't come here , you could fall in the river
Wayne slob , sitting on his blanket , looks up from his fecking phone and says oi Charlie get over yer , no thanks mate to me , little kid waddles back , he's back on his phone
Loving father grieves as child drowns would be the headline

Mi iPhone is a multi purpose tool that I use for many things. It’s my only camera now, all my online banking done via the phone, purchasing stuff, checking on what planes are overhead, Twitter updates, checking if swimming pool is busy (via an official app - not a spy cam), football score notifications via the awesome LiveScore app, it’s my calculator, contacts list, email device, I can watch tv from around the world, netflix, Sky, BT. Apple TV etc and even keep an eye on you lot via the internet - which is a reason on its own to have the device.
It also makes calls, allows instant messaging, text messaging, video calling and I can access all my business data and send files as attachments, work I do on my laptop is available on the phone, it’s a sat nav, allows me to check out satelite views of places I’m going or just interested in observing.
I can pay for parking, count my steps, learn what the different stars and planets are, use it as an alarm, a stopwatch, a timer and even make a phone call on it.
Why on earth would you want to be without one.
They're handy things, that's for sure. My biggest issue with them is seeing people using them sat at a table together, or out with the kids, for long periods of time, mothers and fathers pushing their kid somewhere and on the phone, engage with the child, or look up, you might see something interesting that isn't a supposed mate drinking Prosecco. I really believe that we owe it to ourselves on occasion not to take the easy option, indulging in crap on a phone while taking a kid to school is bad form in my opinion, and rude, dismissive towards the kids.
I hate shopping , apart from for cds in spillers , so buying fishing stuff is OK but for food I would rather go down filcos
I don't use my phone too much for the same reasons, my mental health improved massively when I cut my use down, and when I worked regular days I was sleeping a LOT better in the nights as I wasn't waking up checking Facebook etc or even mindlessly scrolling through it before I'd even got to sleep which caused me ti feel over tired as I'd take ages to switch off.
Was just the wording of your post, that I've read wrong obviously.
