I really, really don't like them. I've been an early adopter of all that since 1998, had some really cool phones over the years. But ultimately, they all suck now. They make what would take 3 seconds on a laptop, take about 5 minutes on a phone, if it'll even let you do it. I'm convinced they're making people stupid.

Send someone 5 sentences, they won't read it. "that's too long." It changes communication styles, too. People are less apt to read a book, if they spend time on a smart phone. Because reading is "hard."

There are other aspects too, like that they're microwaving your body when you're using them. Literally cellphones use microwave energy.

Aside from that, I'm not much for having my words and camera stuff recorded 24/7 and sent off to somewhere, for profiling, analysis or whatever is going on there.. When I still used the thing, I'd be out eating, someone would mention a word, and I'd see a facebook ad for that thing. That's totally not okay.

I mean, I do have one, but it's literally kept outside, and I've turned it on about 5 times in the last 2 years. That first year, I tried to like it on and off, but every time I just ended up putting it outside again.
