"Tony" is what people sometimes call old school thinkers demur

I saw him hosing down his driveway while talking on his new flipphone

I hadn't seen anyone use one of those for years....that's Tony

Tony told me, "I don't  need all that new stuff. There's no fun in learning all that stuff that will be obsolete in six months. The Indians used smoke signals and got the message, so they didn't need much stuff then. I don't use Facebook or social media stuff. Some of those hacking bastards will steal your face right off your head if you give them half a chance. Yeah, I call my family on holidays, birthdays, births, all that usual stuff. My landlines still works and this new phone is handy. Things are getting better, I must admit. I'm feeling more positive now. So much so I'm positive that one of my family members that I call will finally pick up!"
