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.

Good on you! Expect many people to 'mock' you for saying this. Yes, even here on GAW. Have no fear though. I have observed the same as you. I am in complete agreement with you. and here. It comes with the territory of pointing out the truth. I got rid of mine over 5-years ago. Never looked back. Ever since, I feel liberated and free from the minutia that runs 24/7/365 through the proposphere like a soap opera does on "As The World Turns". My wife tried to convince me I should have a cell phone for in case of an "emergency". This 'excuse' is the last line of defense. And I went along with it for a while, but I quickly realized there was never 'really' any emergencies at all. Instead, it was chit-chat talk that could wait for when I got home, especially the kind of talk that was categorically personal. One thing about cell phones is that it is never private and everything is collected. I like upholding and protecting my privacy as much as possible.
Cell phones are tracking devices. To me, it is quite apparent that they are being used to usher in the vax☠x passport, social credit system, and opens the door for the Beast system to be implemented. There will be people here that will try to justify their use, even advancing our cause, but if one does a SWOT analysis the threats and weaknesses has, up to this day, worked against us. For personal and private use, it is better to be without them.
And there seems to be finally a movement to do just that. "On a brisk recent Sunday, a band of teenagers met on the steps of Central Library on Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn to start the weekly meeting of the Luddite Club, a high school group that promotes a lifestyle of self-liberation from social media and technology. As the dozen teens headed into Prospect Park, they hid away their iPhones — or, in the case of the most devout members, their flip phones, which some had decorated with stickers and nail polish."
