That's right. And you can amuse yourself (if no one else) at the same time.
I had a conversation with my niece. She asked me for my mobile (cell) phone number. I said I didn't have one. She said 'You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?' I said 'I'm too fragile and cognitively impaired to use one', so she gave up.
