Isn’t it wonderful that cell phones now cost $1,000. When you add the cost plus the monthly services, you are going to need to get a loan, or give up something and that is not going to happen. I know people, individuals, that have cell phone bills of $1,000 or more. You can get a car for less, and just drive to wherever you want to connect. But, that might involve talking to another person and talking is so not cool. Now days, you text, tweet, message or email on phones.
The problem is that now that everything is on phones, the phones have to get larger and larger and larger. It would not surprise me to see the next generation of phones to be about the size that tablets are now. I’m guessing you will have to have some kind of harness to strap it to your body, yet flexible enough to watch a movie or whatever else that people do with ‘phones.’
I have a friend that takes his iPhone and his iPad with him everywhere. When he’s not on one, he is on the other. Makes it difficult to carry on a conversation with him. I wonder if when he’s home, he sends a text to his wife at the dinner table.
We have become a nation of marketing victims, addicted to a host of apps that entertain with unnecessary and often senseless distractions.
It is with some amusement that I watch and wait for the day that people will have to give up their shelter and perhaps food, so they can afford their cell phones.
I only understand, one ringydingy, two ringydingy.
