You can't live in today's world without a phone.

All the mechanisms of the past that were geared for this no longer exist.

For example: Drive on the road, get to a toll, don't have a Transponder to pay the bill? No problem - just call a phone number. Uh, what if I don't have a cell? This literally never even occurred to them, there is no alternative way to pay the bill.

That's life today, and it applies to children as well. Want to go to some sports place that only caters to teens and above? Load this website on your phone and fill out an application. Don't have a phone? Borrow a friends phone.

The toll roads I've seen on the east coast will just scan your license plate and mail you a bill if you don't have a transponder

Frequently at an increased rate. The garden isn’t fully walled yet, but they are closing in. I’ve already had to refuse to participate in social and work events that required me to download an app to my smartphone.

This is the common way in Norway. Have the toll thingy or get a bill.
