Am I the only one who thinks that cellular phones, smartphones in particular - are actually a kind of regression?
The opposite of progress, i.e.
We know they give us brain cancer – and the more features, apps and do-hickeys (I know, I know) the more they are used – thus even more radiation. I worry about my kids.
Personally, when I want to take a picture – I use my little camcorder which also takes pretty decent stills.
My ipod shuffle which weighs in at nothing also serves as my stereo when docked at home – when an LP isn’t playing.
I would love to get a (possibly water and shockproof) cell-phone that is just a fucking cellphone.
I swear I’d even take one with no numbers – just for incoming calls – but I’d settle for one with numbers and a little display – one green line – so I can be sure I dialed the correct number.
Other than that – we did really fine before we all had to be instantly in touch with everyone – cellphones, laptops – it seems 8 year olds are now travelling salesmen.
Come on. This is progress?
