You go out into the real world and, with your entry level job, you can't afford to constantly upgrade your phone to the newest shiny model, or pay for the data plan you want because of food, utilities, and rent. Then you swallow your pride and go back to using your ancient PC or Mac.

I know, I have two kids and I pay for two data plans. Once they're out of college, that ends.

And maybe when you're older you'll find that stupid, constantly ringing and beeping phone in your pocket an annoyance and anything but cool.
