"It's tough getting older" may be a cliche, but it is true. However, I think it is still better than the alternative. One aspect of getting older is that all those things around you get older too. I had to replace one of those things recently. My cell phone made it just over four years. The main problem was the battery; it just could not keep up any longer. So in its retirement it now resides with my teenage daughter. Her less than one-year-old cell phone had become partially disabled. This happened when she decided to put it on the floor in her school cafeteria so it would not get knocked off the lunch table. I guess it is just not that common for the other students to watch out for cell phones on the floor. Her device lived through the trauma, but now can only provide regular phone service. However today, regular phone service does not make it over the bar for teenagers. They must have "texting" and photo exchange, and her phone no longer had a display.
