The last time I didn’t have a cell phone with me in my pocket was 1995.

But how in 2026 when I travel am I going to get directions? Get an Uber? I am in a Spanish speaking country right now and I speak some Spanish. But it really is convenient just to take my cell phone out and translate.

What is your next piece of wisdom? That I also don’t need a computer with 16GB RAM because my first computer had 128KB?

Oh and I also don’t need the web because back in my day Gopher and Usenet were good enough
