Cellphone cameras- Why I love and hate them!

OK let it be known I don't have a smart phone. One reason is I don't need all the features,I either text or call people.Things I need to to on a computer I do from home like this.Have I ever been in a conversation with someone and tried to guess how old Drew Barrymore is , but I don't feel like I need to google on my phone and find it out immediately. I do understand that some people love them and they have apps that they need for work or school,and even some just for fun.
What I do like about smart phone is some have great cameras.I love to take pictures,thing is though I like to keep some of them-in print like the olden days!
My little cell phone has an ok camera, and occasionally I take a picture that I really would like to keep.However I don't have the capability to print them and if I want to put them on here or face book I can only take a picture of my cell phone screen. 
Right now I can not annoy my daughter and send her a picture,because my phone decided to not let me send the pictures to her smartypants phone so she can put them on facebook for me .
She is glad but right now there are several pictures on my phone I would like to be able to have in print but,will not be able to do that or be able to somehow keep them after this raggedy old phone dies.
Now I am unable to print my pictures from my disposable camera because digital cameras have killed film. It's sad.
I love cell phone cameras they have cool features , they are fun. I hate cellphone cameras because they are like everything else in this technology minded world temporary. Nothing last anymore,and I feel sad when my cell phones die. Not because the phone is dead I don't have a personal attachment to my phone. I am sad because a lot of the pictures are ones I'll never be able to replace.
To me photos are mementos, of special things.Pictures are bits  of my life. Happy or sad I like to look at them. It's one thing I will never understand is why  things are made to be so disposable.
People get excited about their new phones and just briefly mourn the loss of their photos. I feel the opposite I have never and will likely never be attached to a phone but will grab a photo album or two on my way out the door.
Sadly I feel like people have more attachment to things today in general then they do  people."my i-phone, is my life". My life is my life and sometimes I like to keep a moment in a book to reminisce
