I've never had one and never will. Never wanted one. Why is that BS SB?

Another generation voluntarily tethered at every moment of their waking life. A generation being stalked by online entrepreneurs and government agencies. Well domesticated, responding in reflex to every tweet.
Their behavior as sets of data points run through consumer algorithms. Seen both as a product and a consuming entity. An onslaught of brainless memes that entice old decrepit troll turds to employ.

Not sure what came first---the spike in narcissism or cellphones. They feed off one another like zombies.
Have I really found another person on earth not attached bionically to a cellphone? It can't be!

In my world it's nessessary to be competitive, dispatch, document scanning, billing, maps, traffic, on and on and on. I find nothing narassistic about it. On the weekends it sits on the table charging.
I do however find one very irritating activity with it, texting. I can never understand why people text everything when a phone call will do.

Those of us without cell phones really are a rare breed now-a-days it seems. I really don't like them, I understand why some people (like you SB) need them for work and such, but it seems like most people think they are as necessary as shoes or pants! For me, the worst part about all this cell phone craze (other than the environmental impacts) is that if I am out and about and find I do need to make a call, I'm out of luck. Public pay phones hardly exist any more.
I was in the Shopko pharmacy a couple years ago and noticed a sign at the pick-up counter that told people to stay off their cell phones if they expected help. I went and asked the girl about it and she said I wouldn't believe all the people who are on their phones while picking up prescriptions and are quite rude if the pharmacy workers expect them to stop talking on the phone so the pharmacy workers can conduct their business with them. She said even if there are people behind the person in line, most of them expect everyone to wait! How rude! I don't get it.

I don't understand it either.

Texting is an insulating method of communication. Much like forums as this. There are benefits and drawbacks. Cellphone usage while driving should be illegal. Convenience gone haywire while endangering others.
