The referral call from the cardiologist was recorded on voicemail back in a February. Yet, three months have passed and no phone call was made to set up an appointment. Phone phobia, for lack of a better diagnosis, has “wielded its ugly head” again. No telling when the phone call will be made. There are other senior citizen issues as well concerning the phone calls for medical appointments.
The on-going debate about the feasibility of maintaining a regular wireless plan with data allocation “keeps coming back like a bad sitcom.” Why continue to pay $30 for nothing? Even the data allocation comes into question when reviewing just how pathetic the Net has become.
The “app” situation is even more pathetic. After installing and uninstalling numerous “apps,” the general conclusion is that they are all junk. The latest fiasco is the Subway® rewards “app,” which uses QR code in place of the physical magnetic stripe card. Turns out, the magnetic stripe card works 100% of the time versus the spotty (often rejected) reading of the QR code.
The possession of the “smartphone” itself is now questionable. What exactly is it needed for? Certainly not as a substitute for opioids as is its primary purpose amongst the general populace. Just bring on the “pay ‘n go” no-contract plan already. Sheesh!
Addendum: New “security” enhancements for the iPhone Safari Web browser has now caused the inability to log in to some on-line accounts (e.g., Safeway®). The issue appears to be a retaliatory response to the new third-party “cookie” policy.
