When I go to the gym, everybody and I mean EVERYBODY, is looking at their cell phone. If they're not actually on a treadmill or using a weight machine, they're staring at their cell phone. In between sets, they're staring at their cell phone. It would be comical if it wasn't so scary. I'm the only one there without a cell phone. In between sets, I either pace the floor back and forth, or I'll hop on another machine. I don't own a cell phone and never had one. I can see how they would be useful in certain situations, but when I look around and see how people are so addicted to them, I don't want no part of it. The next evolution after the cell phone will be the chip. I can tell right now that people will be lining up to get the chip.

When I worked in Manhattan, people would get off the commuter train and the first thing they would do (and maybe they were already doing it) is stare at their cell phones when walking on the platform. Then, in Grand Central Terminal, it was a sea of cell phone zombies. If these idiots want to have their lives run by their little electronic device, that's on them, but what burns me is that people are DYING because these idiots are staring at their cell phones while driving, and likely for some meaningless post on Instagram or such.
