I do believe the first thing I am going to do when I retire is to

throw my smart phone over the side as I walk down the gangway for the last time.

While it serves me well at work, I only use it as a basic phone when I'm ashore. It makes no sense to keep it as when I'm ashore it's basically a nuisance.

I'm not a phone zombie and don't feel the need to whip it out and stare at it all the time. All I need is a basic flip phone for day to day use.
