“9 out of 10 times we go together so I don’t need a cell phone.”
Last week I had the battery in my 2019 car failed. I pulled out my phone, opened my insurance app and clicked on road service. Help was on the way. Then called wife and said I would be late for lunch.
Cellphones are so helpful I don’t understand bias against them.
Cell phones can be helpful.. agree. Bought my first cell when I was riding across country on my Harley but I don’t need it by my side 24/7.
What I’m against is the obsession with them. I did fine for 40+ years without one.
You go in a restaurant and people have their heads buried in their cell phones. They talk non-stop on the damn things and usually very loud. They text in cars, walking down a sidewalk, in stores etc. With their bluetooth ear buds in you can’t tell if they’re talking to you, someone else or they’re just nuts and should be avoided.
I quit going to the movies years ago because of the damn things.. Inconsiderate assholes that need to answer a phone or text during a movie.
The younger generation can’t converse one on one anymore all they can do is text and they are beyond obsessed.
There’s all kinds of technology that I find totally useless, like self parking and self driving cars. If you’re that inept then you shouldn’t be in a car to begin with. Does some of it have use in cities for deliveries etc.. possibly but that ends up being someones job and who’s responsible when they screw up and hurt someone.
EVERYTHING can be used in some way that is harmful!
