I took a trip last month and after getting through security at the airport, realized I had left my smart phone in my son's car when he dropped me off.
I thought about it and said, what the heck. I don't need it that bad.

Not having it caused some inconveniences because our world is designed around them, but it was nothing I couldn't deal with. i had to stop and ask directions once, I had to call and get directions another time.
I didn't have written proof the car rental company was lying to me.
Other than that, I did just fine without a phone in my hand for that week. Even when traveling to another state I was OK without it. On a regular day to day I would be even better without it, but the company requires i carry it and they pay for it.

If they didn't I'd still have a $15 flip phone.

I bet most of our younger generations could not say that.
