Sort of explains the last couple elections...
Good post. What’s represented in the pictures above, and a dating culture like that of the movie Logan’s Run, would be enough to sink this culture even without all the helping hands from the current White House resident and those that put him there.
Once of those morons came within inches of rear ending me the other day. She somehow woke up long enough to lock up her brakes, but didn’t even look up from the text message she was composing.
My wife and I noticed this phenomenon when we went to a number of concerts of big-name entertainers in the last few years. As the entertainers were performing, we could see countless people in the audience looking at their cell phones and pressing the buttons. Some were obviously taking pictures of the performer, but even during breaks many people were preoccupied with their little gadgets. It’s a brave new world.
Einstien was an idiot also.
Einstien believed that socialism works. that’s the most idiotic thing to believe ever.
Also Einstien didn’t believe in a lot of quantum theory and so Einstein was wrong there too.
If you’ve got to contact or respond but can’t speak, such as in a meeting or something, I understand texting. But actually preferring to spend your time squinting and pecking away at a tiny tiny keyboard or even worse picking your way through the alpha characters on a numeric keypad? It’s tedious. Must be Facebook exhibitionism of every minute movement, another thing I don’t get.
We’ve had a rash of young drivers crossing the center line and head-on collisions. Running off the road, etc.
Told my wife last night I’ll bet cell phones/texting accounts for most of them.
Get called ‘old hat’ or ‘old salt’ because I do NOT engage in all this silly crap with i-this and i-that. Have one cell phone and when I need, yes need, to talk with someone I do so and prefer to talk to people rather than text.
I am 26. I use my cell phone a lot. I use it for twitter, txt messaging, and calling. I use twitter to get news, and talk with fellow conservatives. I use text, mostly to talk to my wife throughout the day, while we both are at work. I probably use it to call people, the least. I don’t have a land-line. My wife probably calls people the most. Mostly her mom and sister to talk about their days. I find the cell phone very useful and helpful.
With everything that is useful and helpful, sometimes, I find myself having to make a conscious effort to let it be for a bit. Especially when I am at home with my wife.
WOW

Yeah, but I always sat there with a low-tech newspaper and never looked up (still do).
Cool. Funny. Luddite. But Einstein never said it...
