It's no wonder I don't have that many friends: I don't carry a smartphone on me. I never had one, and I still refuse to buy it. To realize that much of today's communications involve texting on cell phones just pisses me off to no end.
Sorry, but I don't have it in me to become a part of this backwards, unsocial society. I live my life the same way I lived it 10 years ago, and as a result not much has changed. I hate being around other people and seeing them take out their "fancy" phones in the middle of a conversation (it's incredibly rude).
Why does society place so much unwarranted importance in a cheap-yet-expensive piece of plastic which will have to be upgraded or replaced within a year or two?
It's beyond my grasp as to how people can allow this crap to run their lives -- what happened to the days when a simple phone call or (better yet) a visit paid to one's door could get things over with? I don't like texting because I am sensitive about making spelling and grammar mistakes -- I REFUSE to start "tpying liek dis lol, o ur so gramer nasi".:mum
Anyway, I just wanted to get this out of my chest. It's just something I can't understand this generation. Worst of all is that I am in my early twenties; because of my age I am "expected" to have these crappy, overpriced drops of turds with me anywhere I go. All I have is a basic cell phone which does everything that is needed in case I need to get a hold of someone. That's it, and nothing else to complicate my social life.
