She doesn't seem very tech savvy. Who doesn't back up their phone numbers these days? If I lost my phone tomorrow, I could just go online to my google contacts and get them all back.

I can understand the liberating feeling. 1 year ago, I went to Europe for three weeks and didn't take a cell phone or get one there. It was really nice not having to worry about returning calls and just going back to basics. However, I still think the convenience of cell phones for those few times you really need it outweighs the liberating feeling of not having one.
