Death of conversation

I have a love-hate relationship with my smartphone. Well, strictly speaking, a hate-hate relationship. I hate it and it hates me but we are always together, and when I lost it the other night I felt bereft.

So I deliberately left it home today, just to prove I could, and I'm NOT addicted. Peace, perfect peace.

Lovely to have you back, angel, missed you reunion
Well, I for one do not like being too connected. My phone stays at home during the day when I'm at work and when I go shopping. If there's an emergency during the work week, people have my work number. If there's an emergency while I'm out shopping, they leave a message which I'll get when I get home. As I intensely dislike shopping, I'm never gone more than two hours at a stretch. If people who live near me a) text or b) email me to have a conversation, I keep it a) short or b) don't reply. If we can't get together, pick up the phone and call me. On the weekend, we were dining out. There was a young couple next to us working their phones like there was no tomorrow. Zero conversation except when the waiter brought their meals and they said "thank you". They continued to work their phones as they ate their meals. How sad is that? help
I used to refuse to give out my mobile phone number because it was never on - it was for me to use if I was lost (happens a lot) and needed to phone for help, and that was the only time I ever switched it on.

Smartie is on all the time. Won't be in future, today was lovely laugh
Hello Elegsabiff wave Death of conversation, I agree with that one. People are in such a rush to keep up with the communications race,they ve forgotten how to communicate with others,confused People walk and text, drive and text, eat and text...... yet they forgot how to say hello,confused
Besides the loosing the art of conversation, manners, and being polite has been disappearing with it, very mad And someone is going to tell me that's progress,confused
I love the new computer age, but too much of a good thing.

To move in her mother's house. That has been a 6-7 hour a day job! And I have been so tired too! This week she will be getting her mother things together. To ship them to California. Then after that! We will be unpacking her things in the house. Her mother is moving to California. She is getting married!

LAN, I miss my old phone. When I was looking for the new one (the night I lost it) I dialled the old phone by mistake. It told me briskly 'If you have my home number, please dial that instead and leave a message if I'm not home'.

hug
1to1to1 (gee that's like spelling bananananana I never know when to stop) this is just the start. We'll be zombies in 20 years laugh
Well! For Me.
Keeping up with my Smartphone, is a must do!
Why? Because smartphones can help keep tract of you.

scold In Case, I Comes Up Missing!
They can kind of trace me/ you. My / your last where abouts.

There has been times here in the News. Where the smartphone has helped people find them. ' As long as that smartphone is still near you"

And the smartphones has an Alert system on it. Where you can just hit one bottom. And notify people!
It also has a Weather Alert System! And so on. Too much for me to list.

I must keep up with my Smartphone or somebody smartphone___rolling on the floor laughing
Molly thumbs up rolling on the floor laughing have I told you lately that I love you? laugh
Lucy, every day from now on. snooty well not Wednesday. I have a meeting on Wednesday and need to be able to phone when / if I get lost. Well, more likely to be when than if.

But other than that? Cross my heart. Seriously. We're on a break.

confused I wonder do we have to wait until we get older___rolling on the floor laughing

And Yes! Elegs.
Those smartphones, has hidden menus too! And each time I has the time. I sit and find things in them too!___drinking

PS. That is why they are called Smartphones.
Elegs
Whoo Ray! For your father___hug
Oh! And Elegs
You can also! Reboost your Smartphone too.
It's in your setting.
roll eyes At least! Mines is in the setting files.

Anyway! Smartphones, is just a hand computer.___conversing
Viv phone companies CAN trace every phone, they Dont want folks to know that it can be done!
They are called Smartphones so that people will think the fault lies with the user not the phone. Huh.



It'll be Marvin the paranoid android any day now.
Nope, still sticking. I'll pop back for coffee later. Over and out.
LAN
Well! For me.
I'm not talking about the Phone Companies. I'm talking about the Police Companies. ___rolling on the floor laughing

And here in the USA! They talk about it all the time on the News, hun.___hug

confused So! I'm thinking that. They want us to know it too!__cheers
Angel well maybe there its a warning to ppl not to make fake 9.1.1 calls cos they can trace them to sender in a flash!laugh
LAN
Hail! We all know that___rolling on the floor laughing

By The Way!
When making a call or a fake call to 911. With a cellphone! They don't know where you are really calling from, beside knowing that it's a cellphone number. The cellphone number just comes up on the NCIC Monitor. Not the house or place address.

scold That is why the 911, Operator ask you. Where are you?___rolling on the floor laughing


You don't believe me?

applause Then pick up your cellphone. And dial 911. And talk to them!
LAN___hug

Come to think of it! We are in two different countries. Maybe! You do travel a lot! __laugh
wave I have no Internet on mine. I just use as a Phone( go figure), and for texting( which takes me a hell of a long time).
Plus, the less communication the better.grin No worries here.
I use my phone for calls and text messages.

When I'm out I leave it at home, anyone who calls can leave a message.

Simples cool
I have an android phone. "IT" thinks its a smartphone but really its a dumb numpty.

Every time I type a text it tries to predict what I am going to say. When it sees I am not writing what it predicts it changes the words I write to suit itself.... Must be a female phone!doh
rolling on the floor laughing my phone is for safety reasons onlyroll eyes if I am out walkingdancing and someone attacks me wink one clout with my old heavy phone will send them sprallingrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

Keeps me incontact with all the people I want. It's lovely hearing their voices.
Hope I never lose my phone.
