Obsession with gadgets:ipods, best cell phones(iphone),blue tooth...CRAP

[ToxicAvenger]

whats with it..is it a status symbol??  do you REALLY need to see a video on your fackin phone? ...is that call REALLY THAT important? r you a truama surgeon? i mean we must have an overflow of surgeons and stock brokers in society that MUST answer calls the second they ring!!!

and now ipods...really?  you REALLY need to search the internet THAT MUCH on the go??  life and millions of $s depend on it?

i'm a network engineer and the more you people buy this stuff means more $ for me but i DO have a certain contempt for this stuff.....for fucks sake soccer mom dont plow into me backing from your driveway cause your blue tooth or ipod is keeping ya buzy (almost happened several times past month)

ditto for guys that actually verbalize and r proud of having set up their home wireless router (sic)....o ..lemme call verison and let them know about your brilliant ass...they HAVE TO hire you as their head net engineer    the internet backbone NEEDS you... 

in my defense.....i have a non internet phone...no bluetooth..and i DONT answer phones when i'm driving 99% of the time..

PS..people that have twitter should be castrated...

Nobody wants to hear you cry, we're all in another thread talking about quitters like FagPanda.

[BIG ACH]

To answer your questions...

YES I NEED all those things on my phone!!!! 

[johnnynoname]

maybe, people just want to have nice/cool things- you ever think of that?

it's like, what is the point of working hard and getting a paycheck if you can't buy something nice for yourself

no need to get "Freudian" over it

[Palpatine Q]

I have a Captivate S  that fucking rules......

I just bought a cell phone for the first time last month.. tried to hold off as long as possible but it was inevitable.

some of us dont need the internet to get laid   

we do it the ole fashioned way.....bars and charm..instead of  internet dating sites 

[Hulkotron]

I don't know about the rest of that shit but the iPhone is a legit good phone.

[ToxicAvenger]

I don't know about the rest of that shit but the iPhone is a legit good phone.

i admit..its a great piece of tech...

BUT

99% of its use is put to dumbfuckery

like a gay guy using a an MRI to see which partner stretched out his asshole most

I like toxic because he's a strong conservative.
But your post is off kilter.

The problem is not having a phone that you can do anything you want on. The problem is fucktards who can't put it down because they need to stay socially connected. If you pay attention to people around you who are talking on the phone ... most of the time it's inane bullshit conversation.

I don't like to talk and drive on the phone either. Those conversations can always wait until I'm home or wherever.

I was at a wedding couple weeks ago where few people were updating their status on facebook and uploading pics...and most of their friends were ALREADY AT THE WEDDING. Bottom line is people were idiots before phones and will be until the end of time.

Having iPhone is great because I'm in the process of starting my own business right now. For the past few weeks I've sent countless emails on the fly. Yes, they could have waited until I got home and used my laptop...but right now I probably would have been maybe 4-5 days behind where I'm at right now.
I take product pics, copy and paste info, check orders...etc. all from the phone. You can't beat that!

i agree...and i'm not a bush conservative man...i am a conservative but i think for myself

now time for bed!

Fuckin hate this shit with a passion. It's so fuckin annoying.I love technology and shit. But it has to have a purpose none of this aimless gizmo crap. If i wanna chat to someone, I set a time to meet somewhere, if I wanna listen to music I bring a mp3 player, anything else can wait until i get home. It's like somehow were unable to cope anymore without being attached to the hive.

You should root your phone and do the lag fix, it makes the phone so much snappier.  I just did mine yesterday and it is amazing.

Its pretty simple:

hey, you know who else was politically conservative and didn't keep up with modern technology....

....timoty mcveigh

oh and ted kazinsky as well

so, threadstarter, feel free to be technologically inept while the rest of us normal people continue to send sexually explicit texts and pictures to hot 18 year olds
