But today, I shall digress from reporting on the latest issues, like the backstage US-coordinated massacres of civilians taking place in the Ukraine, and the abject failure of the US invasion of Iraq which has resulted in that country’s 2nd biggest city being taken over by armed militants.
Today, I shall focus on a thing perhaps just as disgusting, useless and evil, just like virtually all US politicians from the prez on down, and all the stupid satanic shit they say and do.
Today I shall talk about smart phones.
Yes, those little devices are nothing but an expensive and dangerous distraction, and around which life seems to revolve now for way too many people.
If there was ever an invention that should NEVER have been, the smart phone is it.
Why are these things bad?
1. They distract people. This has led to injury and death. Really, what is so damn important that people have to be constantly in-touch with every-fucking-one all the damn time? Are people this lonely and pathetic?
2. They are too expensive. I just cannot, and will not, ever see a justification to buy one of these overpriced pocket vibrators just to have one. Spending $300 or more for a phone that doubles as a mini-computer? Are people really that important that they must be connected to everything, everyone, and everywhere all the time? Ask yourself: what is it that you do that’s so vital that a regular cell phone just won’t do (do they even make cell phones anymore?)
3. They are little tracking devices. If you have a smart phone, you can be/are being tracked. Your every more can be recorded. These little pieces of overrated digital junk are privacy killers. But hey, giving up rights and freedoms for convenience is the American way! I’m thoroughly convinced that these things were barfed up upon society not to make our lives easier, but to make it easier for people to be spied on and followed by the NSA, military, and all the other paranoid government turd-sniffers. So in essence, people are spending way too much money to be spied upon.
4. They’re annoying. If something goes wrong with these little fuckers, get ready for headaches, and for a lot of wasted time. Plus, the crap that goes along with getting them fixed saps away any time you may have saved with these things. Believe me; I know what I’m talking about. I have to support these damn things every day, and I hate it.
These are the four main reasons why I hate smart phones. I’m sure there are others. I personally don’t own one, don’t want one, and am doing just fine without one, as are millions of people worldwide.
And spare me the babble about the benefits of these things. I in no way feel less informed or out-of-the-loop on what's going on in the world because I don't own one.
These things didn’t exist until what, five-six years ago? Somehow the world got along fine without smart phones. So you don’t need one!
Whatever
benefits or positive things smart phones may have, it's nothing one cannot live
without. They remain unnecessary devices for the vast majority of the human
race.
Smart phones are just another chain around your neck; just one more thing the marketing-corporate-government schmucks for their own sinister reasons shoved down the peoples’ throat and manipulate them to think that we all need a smart phone, that it’s necessary. BS, I say!
You don’t need a smart phone. It’s another frivolous piece of crap.
BTW, the same goes for it's inbred cousin, the tablet.
Now, as much disdain as I have for these devices, there are strictly only two scenarios in which I would even consider getting one.
1. I’m self-employed, and I have to keep in touch with customers in the quickest and best way I can, and need to have access to information and documents remotely whenever and wherever.
2. My employer requires me to have one to do my job and buys it for me, data plan and all
But beyond that, the smart phone is just a frivolous and unnecessary waste of time and money, and maybe even one’s security and life.
