I'll tell you pisses me off,,,

I have always been pleased to be the last man standing, the only person you will meet in the modern world who does not own a mobile phone. Well, I have finally had to cave in. My poor dear wife is fed-up with me asking her to look at her phone to confirm this code, or that application for me.You cannot exist without one, ffs, so today I ordered a bogger. Not happy about it. I hate the little buggers. To think the telephone was invented so people could talk to each other. Now, it is the biggest conversation killer ever. You can see families / couples sitting in a restaurant, not talking, but looking down at a glass rectangle in their hand. Now I will have to carry around and maintain this device, feed it with electricity, like a pet in your pocket, ready to get lost or nicked at a moment's notice. Not a big fan of the modern world. That said, I said all that shit on a laptop talking to yooz who I never would have known without modern technology !!
The longer this century goes on, the more I feel I belong in the last one.

Kinda scary how ubiquitous phones have become, how removed from each other they makes us and (tinfoil hat time) how dangerous the tech could become......

But at the same time it has given so much access to the big wide world and all its knowledge let alone ability to communicate/share .

Certainly a double edged sword but i still think Gigabyte Wars pretty much said it all.
