| 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. |
As much as I do like my Nexus 4. I have to agree with you so much that I really dislike how smartphones have made people act. I never understood why unless it's something urgent why people have to interrupt to text or social network and not just wait a little bit longer for a better time.
