Smart phone

I didn't have smart phone till today. Probably everyone feels ridiculous about it. The phone that I bought about 5 years back was still working and I was thinking that I use the phone as a phone anyways so what is the big deal. Today it stopped working and I was in panic. It is a saturday evening, roommate was also not there at home.Only text messaging seemed to be working. I went to the store and finally bought a smart phone.
