Lost iPod = Pregnant Wife? Seriously?

Rate: 6 Flag

This story had me exhaling coffee all over my desk this morning - http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/10/18/smartphone.everywhere/index.html.

I know that people are getting increasingly attached to their phones and computers but I had no idea that some people were effectively downloading their brains into them, leaving helpless drooling idiots once they are separated from them. I mean, seriously, what the hell is happening to us as a species?

I shall now go away and vent my rage on shredding documents!

C, i'm almost glad that I only have so little time left on this earth. Walking through a mall and seeing everyone not talking, but staring into these little boxes scares me. I have a cellphone, but it only takes and makes calls. Yes, I'm an old fuddyduddy!

Brittany - I think that some people really are that addicted!

Scanner - I think you have a far better grasp of reality than most connected people do...

Tink - Wait, do you think that there were diagrams as well?? The public needs to know these things!

I go for lunch each day with people who prefer to sit and play with their iPhones than have a conversation with someone face to face. It annoys me to no end but you can't change them.

I will say I'm very fond of my iPod. I don't care if it's cool--I measure it's effectiveness by the amount of use an pleasure it supplies. But after having bought a cell phone for emergencies after my car accident this spring, I still haven't cozied up to the thing. Of course, it's not an iphone, and it's capacity to go online is limited.

I love to check my email, but I can at least wait to get out of bed to do so!

I just read a statistic that says some obscene percentage of people check their text messages during sexual intercourse.

I think someday some folks will have the phone/internet service direct wired to their brains so they can be connected 24/7. I just don't understand the need to be constantly tied to the phone. It is one of my pet peeves.
