    Maybe it’s because I’m not really a smart phone person… I got all notifications turned off, even on my lock screen. The only sound it makes is when someone calls me or texts me. Regarding media, I have an old TV, it’s not smart, so I don’t actually need it. Reagarding the phone missing, this rarely happens and I usually just tell my wife to call my phone.

      It’s personal preference. I’m a very smart tech person but like privacy and hate smart watches. But, they are handy and really life-changing for some.

      I keep most of my notifications off, but I hate my phone making sound and I’m not a fan of having to take it out of my pocket to check stuff.
      With a smart watch I can just get a gentle vibration on my wrist when I get a text or something, and often tap it to send a reply.
      It’s also a pedometer and if I’m walking I can use it to get pedestrian navigation directions without having to pull my phone out.
