I know with my smart-phone I could dump the mp3 player, kindle, and my old phone. But, the battery drains quicker when you use it for all that stuff, plus the screen saver drives me nuts when reading. I still have money on the old phone, so I keep it for emergencies.

I got rid of the make-up I hardly ever touch, a lot of old reciepts, two movie ticket stubs, the March 2014 Glamour magazine, god only knows how many pens, some notes from last semester, crumbs, two dead bugs, and some business cards. (I have all those numbers in my phone now.)
