I wish I could go back to my Nokia, but no carrier I can find will connect it.
The smart-phone was an amazing invention.
However, now that the elites have shown their hand—that they plan to use it to track us for things like vaccine certificates and eventually social credit scores—it has become an enemy of humanity.
We will need to do without—and reclaim our right to be treated as human beings instead of cattle.
“”I was on my mobile at a playground with the kids and I looked up and every single parent - there was up to 20 - were looking at their phones, just scrolling away,” she says. I
thought ‘when did this happen?”
Around 2007.
dont have one dont want one- might need one one day- but have lived many decades without one- hopefully i can get to the end without one-
I’ve used my smart phone once in the last week, and that was to pay my Verizon bill.
I value being unreachable. Don’t carry any phone.
Leave it in the car when you go to the playground, or in your purse and don't take it out.
I’m on my iPad when I’m home, but I forget my cellphone all the time, I usually pick it up after days of no use at all. If I leave the house, iPad and phone are usually left behind.
Friends get worried when I don’t answer their texts but are used to hearing “sorry, I forgot to charge my phone”
If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?
So the mini phone god controls people against their wills?? Is there anyone who takes responsibility for their own choices anymore? Anyone?
Back in the day, those people at the playground would be reading a book, a newspaper, or a magazine.
Sounds like we need a new law to make it illegal to look at or operate a personal cell phone when the user does not want to do so.
Here’s a simple trick to make your expensive smart phone a lot dumber. Hold your finger over each of the app tiles until you see the “uninstall” selection. Press this and the annoying apps will go away.
It’s kind of like the scene in “2001:Space Odyssey” when Dave starts disconnecting HAL’s brain. You can keep “Phone” and “Maps” and maybe your bank app, but the rest are just time killers. You don’t even need the email app but that’s a hard one to drop if you are severely addicted.
My answer : Location services off, vpn on, No email or financial apps on the phone, Only people in my contact list can make calls, all others to voicemail that tells any and all If you are trying to sell me something or tell me something political I WILL NOT CALL YOU BACK.
Hey, I’m ahead of my time.
I was on my mobile at a playground with the kids and I looked up and every single parent - there was up to 20 - were looking at their phones, just scrolling away,” she says.
...
She plans to use the time gained from quitting her smartphone to read and sleep more.
So she will bury her head in a book while at the playground ...
I have found working with the younger generation they are VERY MUCH lacking in the personality department all of them just seem SO FLAT!! I feel sorry for them!!
I’ve noticed the phenomenon - almost all people are unable to be alone with themselves, and need the feedback and confirmation from the electronic device.
I admit the need and convenience of having one’s personal portable telephone, and the ability to text, available at all times. As a safety issue, the portable phone is a live-saver.
But it looks like millions are using the portable device to escape from interacting with people around them. This is not normal. Homo sapiens is the one species that owes its survivability to its ability to talk with other humans and to exchange highly detailed information with those it interacts with.
The need to escape from the humans that surround one says a lot about the deterioration of our civilization.
A couple of years ago, shortly before all of this Covid cr@p, I met some friends at a restaurant for dinner. I forgot my phone; I had left it on the charger at home.
We got talking about a barbecue we’d all attended about a year before and one of my friends asked me if I still had the pictures I had taken that day. I said I did, but they were on my phone which I’d left at home.
Another one of my friends was shocked. “You forgot it and didn’t go back to get it??” he asked. “Aren’t you freaking out?”
I laughed. “Not at all. I forget it all the time.” (The only way I would have gone back for it was if I hadn’t known where the restaurant was. My sense of direction sucks.)
It’s sad how some people are so addicted that the can’t walk away from their phones for a couple of hours.
