JohnnyBlaze Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I don't think people here, Are so much against the technology and some help like GPS they offer. Its the zombies that let it run there lives. Espescially those who walk in to trafiic because they are looking at there phones. Drivers who cause accidents, stuff like that. I can't imagine what some of them would do if they had no phone for a week.Well, their genetic structure and pre-cell phone human behavioral patterns would slowly return. That's the optimist in me. The pessimist in me says there would be various withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, nervousness, and other conditions often associated with being a dick. They would freak out, In fact I read months ago some kid killed himself because his dad took it away. About 7-8 years ago I knew a spoiled little junior high girl that racked up about a 400 dollar cell phone bill in a month...downloading shit and whatnot. She was pissed because her mum took it away as punishment. When I asked the girl if her mum took the phone away forever, she answered, "Of course no. It was for that afternoon. Isn't she unfair?!" I said to her, "Wow. How did you manage?" She didn't catch the sarcasm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Wait, you can call people with these things? In all seriousness, the advances that have been made when it comes to mobile phones are incredible. I have anything I could ever want to know in the palm of my hand, literally. These things are the greatest source of learning I could ever need.No, I'd say having experiences is the greatest source of learning you could ever need. I'd also add: you're in trouble if you believe that everything you could ever want to know is accessible in a cell phone.I was exaggerating a bit. Look, I'm not a phone zombie. I actually can, and do, function for more than five minutes without my phone, unlike most other people I know. But, I have to say that a smartphone is an excellent educational resource. It's easy to abuse it and get too caught up with it, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I still use one of these. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/w385_zpsnqlm0zsq.jpg And I make no apologies for it. Somehow I'm able to make it through the day not being able to play Angry Birds. I'm not a slave to my phone and I'm saving a ton of money each month. :goodone: I have a similar phone only it's a Nokia.

fraroc Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) They walk around like zombies with their phones in front of them. When the power goes out and there is no phone service/they can't charge up, they walk around like zombies becasue they don't know how to interact with each other personally. We're all f***ed, basically. And people wonder why I'm never happy. I hate this world. Edited September 14, 2015 by fraroc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Went out to dinner with a guy I haven't seen in a while - last Thursday night. He kept looking at his phone, doing facebook and twitter - and was having a chat session with another guy. Some drama going on. I'm an easygoing impatieint kind of guy. If that makes any sense. I get that there's some shit happening, but if you don't have respect for me being there after we've been sitting down for about 10 minutes, I'm going to get insulted. I did. The dude was out with his phone, not with me. So I left him there. I dropped $10 on the table to cover my beer, and I walked out. He didn't even notice. Texted me almost 20 mins later, wanted to know where i was. I told him I left becasue he was out with his phone, and i didn't have time for it. He didn't quite get the point. Whatever. I can't be bothered with this shit. Call me (ha ha) when you're going to leave the phone in your pocket. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't understand what "easygoing impatient kind of guy" means. Does it mean that you're actually impatient but present yourself as easygoing? Or that you're either one depending on how annoyed you get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that phone was the only way he knew how to escape from his stress...and when that was taken away so was his means of escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraroc Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I swear, Natural Science is about the phone zombies. Just think about it, smartphone and social media addicts live in their own tidal pools, unaware of the vast sea that surrounds them. They lose sight of their way and their causes can't see their effects. Being connected to electronic devices all the time, they aren't aware of the beauty that surrounds them, nature.

librarian Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I have a phone that is really basic in case i need to call AAA or work - that's it. I don't even get reception in my Town. I have to drive to the next town over to use a cell phone. It isn't on unless I'm driving to a family function or at the airport.If people need to get in touch, they'll find me - I don't go very far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
