| Shadow1980 said: I'd love to see smartphones go away and this come back:
Of course, I have a personal vendetta against smartphones because I'm sick of how they make people act. I'm tired of someone stopping what they're doing in mid-conversation to check their Facebook or Twitter or text someone else. Smartphones are turning people into rude, increasingly asocial (with those they're in physical proximity with), narcissistic zombies glued to a portable screen, oblivious to the world around them. I understand how important the ability to communicate away from home is, and cell phones are great in case of emergencies and offer more freedom than pay phones did. But turning them into portable PCs with internet functionality was IMO a bad idea. Most of that extraneous non-phone shit can wait until you get home. |
I need to check sports scores on the move! But yeah, I've now started punching people or just stopping talking until they put their phones down. Maybe it's why nobody wants to talk to me...
