Sheesh, why do you post my question before I do?
I am way up there in age, but I still do not feel the need for an iphone.
I see my beautiful 16-month old granddaughter busily swiping her mother’s iphone and happily pointing at the screen and I feel a deep sadness come over me. What a waste of gray cells.
I see our young hot engineers solving all kinds of problems with canned computer programs and I look at my precious bamboo slide rule and technical books and I know that I can do the same with pencil and paper but I know that they cannot do what I can.
When TSHTF and all lights go out, the EXXONS, the Chevrons and engineering companies will shed their computer jockeys and come running to us old farts for help.
I hope the lights never go out because I don’t see myself working for a boss again.
Careful or people are going to label you an old worthless poop with outdated ideas. :)
Technology has as many pitfalls as benefits, and I still stand by my assertion that a 10 yo does not need an iphone, especially if it leads to exposure to pornography such that it would make a 10 yo boy believe that he’s gay. Modern porn is not just naked lady pictures.
NASA 2076 flies an Apollo 13.2 mission. All onboard are forever drifting in space because their iphones are unable to connect to google.
