Smartphones are the worst invention in the history of mankind. When people get a smartphone they become like zombies. It's like the old sci-fi movies where alien invaders infest the earth with bugs of some kind and despite people's best efforts to run and hide they get bitten by the bugs and their brains are taken over by the aliens.
The only difference is instead of running and hiding from the brain commandeering bugs/aliens people actually pay good money to voluntarily get bitten and infested and let the smart phone control their lives. Unfortunately, that scenario is even too far-fetched for Hollywood to come up with. Yet it's reality.
Common sense says run and hide. But people don't. They pay a good portion of their income to carry that little bug around with them everywhere they go as if it's an appendage they can't live without. It controls their life. It beeps, they jump. Looking down, pushing buttons... tap tap tap. It becomes their brain. Without it they know nothing. Nobody knows anyone's contact information anymore. It's all in their phone. If their phone is dead they can't contact anyone. They don't know the number. Good thunder, I still remember three of my childhood telephone numbers. And a few other people's numbers including my grandparents. Nowadays, people can't even call their spouse, parents, or children if they don't have their smartphone. Because they don't know the number!
Their smartphone even tells them where to go and how to get there. :-) Nobody knows how to read a map. Nobody needs to. Just type in your smartphone and it will tell you how to get there. Turn by turn. I got very proficient at reading maps on my mission -- it's a lost art now. :-(
Sadly, people seem to value their smartphone more than their life. Case in point -- someone who is deathly scared of a dog holds their smartphone in the air high above their head when the dog approaches instead of following natural instinct which would be to protect vital organs and head/face. It's unbelievable how much people value their smartphone. It's like they can't live without it. They would rather fully expose their abdomen by raising their arm for a perceived vicious animal to rip out their guts and livers than to risk having said animal harm their smartphone.
It is so unbelievably ridiculous to me that seemingly intelligent people exhibit such idiotic behaviors to protect their addictions. Yes, the smartphone itself is an addiction. It also feeds other addictions such as pornography/sex addictions, social media addictions, gaming addictions including gambling, etc. And many of those addictions lead to self-destruction and destruction of families.
Take your life back, quit being a zombie allowing your smartphone to rule and control your brain, throw your smartphone in the river and never look back. :-) I guarantee you your life will be much better. I have never owned a smartphone or even a regular cell phone in my life and I am the King! :-)
Smartphones are stupid cheating machines!
That's my two cents.
