I use rock mostly.
I have a weather rock outside my kitchen window. If I look out and it's wet, I know it's raining. if I look out and it's white, I know it's snowing.
Likewise, I have a fitness rock about 100 yards up the mountain. If I can get to it, I know I'm fit. If I can't, I know I'm not.
Do folks seriously need all these gadgets to figure out the world within arm's reach?

@"Ninurta", I think Millennials do. Seriously!
Wildest thing I've seen lately is a solar charger for your bugout bag so you can charge your phone if there is no electricity. Now, I might be missing something here, so check me on this, but if you can't even get electricity to charge your phone, how do you expect to get a signal to make calls or texts on it?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
