Ha Ha Glad I'm me

Glad I'm just a lame dumb phone user. I don't walk around with my phone listening to music, watching TV, downloading a bunch a crap that in no way increases the quality of life. How lame right? I go outside and interact with people face to face!

Gee I'm sorry. Listening to Pandora on the bus ride or 8 hour road trip really hurt the quality of my life.

Sending to pictures to friends while I travel really stinks. I should bring them all with me!

Checking my bank account on the go to see if a client paid me really isn't worth the hassle.

Oh same goes with email. It really stinks not having to sit in front of a computer to get email. Or better yet, if I want to ask a friend if they got into grad school I should just pay $300.00 , fly across country, visit them face to face, ask them, then pay $300.00 to fly back. 🤣

Oh, I've got some free time while waiting in line. I should just talk to whoever is in front of me about what crazy weather we're having instead of reading ...

Gunny's been around for a long time. Maybe he digs the news but doesn't have to have a smartphone?

Anyway, bluepeyote's not exactly pleasant.

You sure are!!! I use my Motorola Droid so much that I even carry around spare batteries. Mostly cause I'm a very bored security guard, and it helps me pass the time.

i agree with what Gunny is saying here what was life like before these ridiculous smart phones. We all managed just fine living life with pay phones and without your precious facebook. when we went out for dinner we actually communicate with each other instead of staring at our smartphone. those who never used a Polaroid camera i guess will never understand. bravo Gunny.

Thanks. It's cool I understand what blue was trying so eloquently to say. I'm glad you got it heaven for bid we bring back those pictures and sit down and share the experiences with our loved ones, or read a book while we're on the bus, or I don't know make a phone call if you have a question for your friend. I'm just glad I'm old enough to understand that simplifying your life can bring you much joy.

Oh a Ipad that consolidates your books into one light weight device is just insane for reading book(S)

BROWN27

Jun 2, 2010, 11:51 AM
I don't think anyone was arguing about how cool some of these gadgets are, Gunny is only sharing that he is happy that he's not caught up in all of it. Not everyone needs to spend 500 bucks on an ipad, some like to buy books for .25 cents at garage sale! And you know what? They are just as happy about it!

lol you have no idea. You continue to live in last years world and you will be the last years talk.

But people that are businessmen and people that make money will continue to use gadgets to simplify their life. 😉

Yep!!! Cellphone certainly simplifies my life, I haven't owned an alarm clock, or calculator in well over 8yrs, and I've never owned an mp3 player, what do I need that for, my Droid has a 3.5 headphone jack.

BROWN27

Jun 2, 2010, 1:49 PM
While other are happy to use the same alarm clock they bought twenty years ago, and listen to music on a radio! Has it really simplified your life? 🙄 Your life was just so hella busy and hectic before your droid?

It's just nice having all these features & functions in -ONE- devicde. That's what makes it simple, consolidation.

whoa slow down Jay, I think you defining the word consolidation may provoke him in to violence being that he has no response to intelligence.

Coming in forums making a asinine accusation only gets you so far before its shot down and exposed.

"Gunny is only sharing that he is happy that he's not caught up in all of it."


That's not how I interpreted it. He was being a smart arse plain and simply.

"I don't walk around with my phone listening to music, watching TV, downloading a bunch a crap that in no way increases the quality of life."

What sanctimonious, judgmental rubbish is that, huh?

You are co-signing that nonsense? You and he both should be locked in a ten by ten room to enjoy being the uppity *Bleepards* you apparently are. Next time you want to call out someone for living in the twenty-first century, how about you log off of that computer that your holier-than-thou arse shouldn't be using in the first place since you are so against technological innovat...

We still do, only most of us don't troll url's of which we don't have any interest whatsoever, then troll some nonsense to make himself look so superior.

I'm sorry if my post came off wrong. It was not meant to insult those that enjoy the beauty of todays modern day smart phone. Hell I probably get one if they make a waterproof one for me, I spend most my days filing sand bags in the rain, kayaking, hiking, etc. Peace. 😎
