Ah, I'm sorry to hear your husband has to face such challenges. My niece has CP and she is continuing to go through surgeries that may allow her to walk- she says thank goodness for the internet! Anyhow, have you ever considered walkie talkies? My parents live in a cell-phone poor area and they like to walk in the woods a lot so they got walkie talkies. They also use them to communicate between barn and house. Just another possible solution for when you have to replace your phone someday. Cheers!

Don't have an Iphone but can't you put them in the cloud then access it that way from the computer? I transfer everything via Bluetooth from my android phone to my computer. Bought a nice little USB Bluetooth adapter for $20 and love it. I can also access Verizon cloud from the computer to get at my files. Mary

I have burned music CD's in the past using Nero. I don't do alot of burning so it isn't at the front of my memory bank. My computer guru put alot of programs on my computer which I have no idea what they do. I do use Picasa some and think I could burn a CD from that perhaps. Here is a list of the programs I have under what he calls "multimedia" Nero CD/DVD Burn Picasa SoundMax XP Codec Pack 2.5.1 Any Video Converter Applian FLV Player Audacity Media Player Classic Photo Story 3 PowerDVD Player Quick CD Quick Time Player Quintessential Media Player Real Player Say Time Sound Recorder Windows Media Player Windows Movie Maker Microsoft Silverlight DVD Decrypter Free East Cd-DVD Burner InfraRecorder Mp3DirectCut Old Media Player Slide Show Wizard VCD ControlTool In addition to figuring out what program to use I am going to need some help getting the pictures from my computer to that source. I don't use Picasa very much as I don't do editing etc. and I find their organization difficult to figure out. Today I looked at the videos from my iPhone that I want to burn to DVD through the Windows Cameras and Scanners Wizard. Ginny

1. There will be a sense of disconnection Smartphones have dramatically changed the way we communicate with other people. They made it easier and more accessible. Technology used to limit us as we were forced to languish in front of a landline while waiting for a call. Today people have become much closer to each other. Now, in order to talk with the desired person, a couple of touches on the smartphone are enough. However, the absence of this miracle gadget will make you feel separated from the world, which often leads to an acute feeling of loneliness. In addition, you may succumb to incessant boredom. 2. It will become harder to navigate without GPS The days of people using maps to get to the right place are almost gone. All smartphones are equipped with GPS, which helps us to reach our destination without much difficulty and wandering. Life has actually become much easier thanks to GPS, because this navigator shows us the right direction right down to the smallest turn. Therefore, in the absence of access to the global system, many people will not be able to correctly and quickly navigate in an unfamiliar area. Navigators have become such an integral part of our lives that most travel enthusiasts and those who often go on business trips can hardly imagine their lives without a smartphone with its indispensable GPS.
