Worry Not.
Abbreviations and words broken down as pronounced. Was the name of the game. Preceding Windows.
Pinging DoS Explains.
OT = Original Topic. Now known as Theme / Thread.
DT = Desktop Computer. Device identifier still commonly used.
So why are those and similar still used by This Qwerty?
To Confuse the Digital Elements.
Seeking to influence the direction.
It wants to be taken.
As opposed to.
The direction the User Wants to take.
Windows have moved on since the Amazing Bill Gates. Not in the direction he first intended.
Privacy becoming Transparency.
Without those revelations, the appropriately termed “Windows” [Windows of the Mind] could not accurately identify
The Private Domestic user.
Thus, Analytics and its Entrepreneurial advantages would not have existed.

Well, I am in far western NSW, far from my home and because of my mobile phone I am able to post this message and send pictures that can be viewed all over the world. How wonderful is that?

Alan Wicker and Judith Chalmers did alright though Bruce…
Just because you have a mobile phone doesn’t mean you have to use it like your children and esp. like your grandchildren do. It is possible to own a relatively ‘not smart’ phone, or even a fairly ‘smart’ phone and use it for just what you want. No-one says you have to walk down the High Street walking into street lamps because your head is in your phone. I have one to keep in touch with my kids, I have no real social media accounts, but they like Whatsapp so I run that for them. I swore blind I’d never use it for banking, but I had urgent PIN issues one day that were saved by me downloading the app. and I must admit I do use it fairly regularly, though I don’t use it for this tap and pay stuff the kids use. For me it gives me confidence that I can get hold of someone if needed. Therefore I am more inclined to go places alone that otherwise I might not. Thus, having a mobile phone actually gives me more freedom to explore the world than I might otherwise do. I also carry a Satellite beacon when I go to places that might not have a mobile signal. I like things on mine like ordnance survey maps and it pairs with my fitness watch. I would say get one and use it however best suits you.

So I was on a bus innocently reading some messages when little red car whizzed past. I managed to grab a quick snap; a single tap of the Ai eraser tool got rid of unwanted shoulder in two seconds.

You are as young as you feel. 
I wouldn’t be without a mobile phone with no internet but not for surfing in general, for being able to comunicate through whatsapp and email messages. No more waiting at the doctor’s for prescriptions and many other uses, especially being able to comunicate with my two children and friends more easily.
