    Interested to see how many people who use a PC all day say they could live without it. I could, but it would be a pita, there is a lot of value added in having instant information in your pocket.

    Also interested to see how many people could live without social media or youtube.

    One of my coworkers shat on me because I wrote an email from my phone when I was next to an open workstation.

    You already know I long for the days cable TV was our source of entertainment and we were a lot more bored, collectively. The world moved at half the speed it does now.

    Thats such an archaic sentence.

    Who goes into an office for a knowledge based job? Pathetic Tesla employees?

    Honestly .. . Americans are stimulation junkies. . .information junkies
    JOHNNY 5 ALIVE!!! NEED INPUT . .. INPUT!!!

    Smart Phones provides all that
    They are Man's best Friend


    We are dependent
    1. Most of us cannot remember 75% of our Phone Numbers much less our passwords
    2. Traveling? GPS is the greatest thing since the road map . ..turn by turn instructions??? GTFOH!!!
    3. Entertainment and distration second to none

    my phone and i have a very special relationship. kept me company on my loneliest days and cheered me up when i’m down. sometimes when i talk to it, it talks back… tho a lot of the time it apologizes or says doesn’t understand. silly siri, always pulling my leg.
