there I said it and feel better. I do not own a cell phone and won’t. If you here at Buried Planet have one that is great, but let me explain.
Social status is gone. I went to the park the other day and people were all like robots on their little cell phones. Texting and looking all cool with their gadgets. I’m like what is the point of going to the park, just stay home?
I was at a bar before I went to see the movie Watchmen and my friends were waiting near the theater while I drank a few beers and this couple came up next to me and all their conversation was was about them texting one another. People even talk about what they talked about on the cell phone.
Most people that have them don’t even need them. They talkabout nothing and when someone asks me what my cell phone number is and I say I don’t have one, I get strange looks. OMG…
Almost half the wrecks I am almost involved with are people with cell phones. It never fails that at a stoplight and it turns green the person in the front is knee deep in texting or talking on the phone and people have to honk and those people honking are on…you got it a cell phone themselves.
I only understand people in buisness needing a cell phone. Like for example my oldest brother is a computer programmer and is on call, so when needed they can get in touch with him.
12 to 18 year old teens don’t need it for any reason, sorry. At the mall these little robots are on cell phones texting and talking, but not to each other they just stand out side or sit at the restaraunt tables stuck with one to their fingers or ears. They never pay attention and are even more dangerous behind the wheel of a car.
It isn’t about technology I don’t care how you can play Tetris, or download your favorite Madonna song or you can text until your fingers fall off they don’t impress me. It’s that people just have nothing to talk about unless you have a cell phone. “Call me, text me…” It’s all self-centered and me, me, me. I come first because I have a cell phone with my $150.00 gadgets I pay for every month as if I’m suppose to bow down and worship thy celleth Phoneth.
I like to talk in person and not much of a phone talker. Sit around shooting teh breeze witha beer or two, or whatever is cool by me.
I just find the whole process has made people out of touch and try to look cool. Like I said if it is needed, fine you need it, but not everyone needs one, trust me on this.
