  I'm repeatedly struck by how much cellphone addicts can't
imagine any other way to live. My cellphone has no address book,
no apps to speak of, no passwords. I keep it in case I need to
make a phone call away from home. If someone steals it then
I'd just buy another $40 TracFone amnd another $20 card to
get me 3 months usage. No big loss.

   My emails are not sitting on a server somewhere. I download
them and then delete them from the server. I don't use either for
banking, shopping, transmitting credit card numbers, etc.

  So, no, I would not be "royally screwed". I don't live the reckless
e-lifestyle that you believe is unavoidable.
