I do have a cell phone - it's just that it's what people came to call a "dumb" phone. No notifications barring an SMS or three a week from the bank. I turn off notifications by default unless it's something I'm waiting for (and that I know will come) while other stuff is under way. Sudden popups - especially those of miserable value - are annoying.

I wonder how my experience is different from the mainstream - and what mainstream's is, for that matter.
