Same. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I think back at how much better life felt without constant technological distractions. I had actual hobbies that didn't involve a WiFi connection. I used to read all the time. I used to write stories. I used to draw. I used to create things. If there's one thing "smart phones" steal from you, it's creativity. And time, of course.
Cutting tech time can only lead to self-improvement.
Right? I have family and friends that get so annoyed with me because I pay very little attention to my personal phone most days.
I had a consulting gig four a couple of years that had me working in downtown minneapolis not long ago (2018-2020). I'd always go for a long walk during lunch time for the exercise and people watching.
In two years, I saw half a dozen people almost killed by the light rail because they were walking around in the usual cell phone zombie pose. None were children. That's to say nothing of well over half the people would be in the cell phone zombie pose while walking around on any given day.
I like my phone, it's useful. But it's a tool that's used when I feel like it. I know I sound like an old man, but people have gone insane with their cell phone addiction.
I know this may "sound" creepy, but I do love to sometimes sit and just "people watch". We are such interesting creatures.
Nah I totally get it, SW. People watching in big cities is endlessly entertaining. Plenty of beautiful women and lots of crazies.
What if loved ones urgently need to contact you? That's why my phone is always on. If my dad takes sick and gone to hospital in the middle of the night then I want to know about it.
I mean people managed to survive without them for 1000s of years before like 20 years ago. How did they manage to do it?
People who survived lived with families. They did not live alone like so many do now. There was always someone at hand to help if you needed it, or to go and fetch the doctor or the constable or the firemen or the sheriff or the neighbors.
They weren't alone.
Don't you have a regular landline phone? I do. I do not carry a tracking device around with me. I do not want to be on a 24/7 leash.
I'm in UK, regular landline phones are pretty much gone now and no I don't have one. BT, our telecomms infrastructure company has set a target to remove old landline system completely in next couple years. Suspect it will happen to you in US as well because the maintenance cost of traditional system is huge in comparison to sending the call over TCP/IP.
I don't like the thought of being tracked either. I don't see how it helps though leaving mobile phone switched off overnight because I guess the government already knows where I live.
They won't get rid of the landline, because that's how a lot of people get internet. The landline stands up to storms better than cell service. Tree limbs break electric lines, but only drag phone lines down to the ground. I've never lost phone service during a hurricane. But I've lost electricity a lot, and if the electricity is out, the cell towers go out.
Believe it or not, for us, POTS ("Plain Old Telephone Service" is on its way out.
The great 2025 switchoff
As I said, there are huge cost savings if the network moves to VOIP instead. My internet access comes into my apartment using the same copper wires which have been here for many years - but I have no "landline phone."
The USA has always been different though in terms of how phone service works. Maybe because a larger proportion of people live in very rural areas. We don't get so much of that here because although our population is only about 20% of the USA population we are crammed into an area the size of Arizona. So maybe you're right and you get to keep yours.
Most Europeans have no real conception of just how big the US is and how far apart things are. For example, just my state of NC is half as big as the whole UK.
POTS covers practically the entire US. The internet doesn't. Removing POTS would totally isolate millions of people.
It's both mystifying and sad to see the generation of youth who have their phones surgically attached to the end of their noses. They'll be lost when the lights go out on their life tether!
I know I'm "old school" because we still pay for our groceries and out to dinner with cash. I have to chuckle at the reaction of the cashier in the grocery store when she says you can go ahead and swipe your card, and I say I'm using cash. The look I get is always priceless like I'm from the stone age. LOL
You should now create a game to see who can reach the highest amount of CO2 the fastest. That will really upset the greenies.
We should make an app and all compete publicly.
They have that game in China. The winner gets to be put into a camp for organ harvesting. That's the upgraded game though. Soon to be released worldwide but currently in beta testing.
we could have a push-up competition, measured in CO2 created.
When you win, you will be financially castrated
excellent idea!
Cash is king !! screw debit or credit cards as far as phones I would miss the ease I can find help on YouTube videos, used to go to library to find info on car repair or appliance repair is the only thing I would miss besides the great awakening site and Truth social
As many people suddenly discovered in Canada this weekend, debit and credit cards work only so as long as the network works. A failure this weekend left about half the population here without the ability to use either.
Watched a guy frantically go to an ATM to get money after learning his debit and credit cards didn't work. Stormed off slamming doors when his card was rejected.
Always use cash when possible and always make sure you have at least a month's worth of cash stashed away for emergencies.
Honestly, I see this as positive.
It'll wake a lot of people up, I'm sure of it because the fake news 24/7 propaganda can only do so much
Restaurants around here prefer cash. They charge extra if you use a card.
I don't carry a cellphone/tracking device on me. When I'm outside the house, I am free from unwanted contacts by phones and computers, mostly contacts from assholes, telemarketers, scammers from India, etc.
Get rid of the cellphone. It's an unnecessary luxury that adversely affects your well-being.
I’ll ask to opt out because humans aren’t causing the climate change, the climate has been changing since our planet formed 4.6 billion years ago.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well we'd confuse the heck out of it on a night that we have cabbage, kek!
Lol. Maybe it does!
Soon they'll just be telling us to stop exhaling because it generates CO2...
You breathed 3.67% more than the average person today, that is the equivalent of cutting down a million trees a year hang yourself in shame!!!
I've closed bank accounts for lesser things. I would not put up with that for one second.
My theory - the Cabal is pivoted rom Plandemic to Climate Change Hoax. Every country will do absurd stuff in the name of climate change and just like in Sri Lanka and Netherlands we will see these governments dragged down by the people.
UK, Italy, France and Canada - pick which one falls next!
UK, it's time to take up arms and overthrow your government.
Oh, what?
You ain't got no arms?
Well, I don't know what to tell you then . . .

Cash people! It's small but a significant thing we the people can do to fight back.
In the last year I've gone back to withdrawing cash for the week and sticking to it as best I can. I can say I spend less bc I'm more conscious of what I'm spending, its private and it feels good too.
Not happened to me. Scaremongering probably.
Should have responded you plan on offering it as a burt offering to the bank in the name of moloch. If they want to be cursed with a horrifying agonizing death, keep it up, Karen. Moloch knows your soul.
