I personally enjoy severing the connection with my phone. Sometimes I just leave it elsewhere in my apartment and don't look for it. Or even *gasp* leave completely without it. I don't answer every time it rings, or every time I get a text. I use it on my time.
Great take. Respect. If only I could give up my phone and social media I would be set.
With me... 😏
@Cowboy6666 I see no reason to give up smartphones, some people just need to learn some damn self-discipline and not be ADDICTED to their devices. 👍
I have a cell phone but I barely use it, I just have it to help me stay in contact with people when I'm not home.
This is a really good myTake, I agree with all the points made. But it's good to have a phone to use for emergency calls, it shouldn't have to be a smarphone. But in this day and age its sad how people look down on people without one or using an old smartphone. I've tried to delete all my social media as it's so distracting and time-wasting.
how do you function without it? its a mini computer...
* you can add that it causes increase in cancer...
Absolutely wrong, my cell phone connects me to the world and other people.
Well said, missy! Smartphones are handheld personal computers with constant internet connectivity, so awesome! Being able to connect with friends and family, as well as the world if i want to, in the palm of my hands is some awesomely badass shit! :-D
Like any tool, it is about how you use it. I used a knife to cut chicken for a chicken casserole today... I can also use the same knife to kill somebody. Same tool, different use.
Also, don't forget about GPS, calculator, graphing calculator, note-taker, email for business/school, Microsoft Office software to edit/view docs on the go, camera... many things these little devices of joy can do!
Just don't be an addict and have some self-discipline. The world can learn from us, Missy. 👌
@Prof_Don Well said
I never liked cell phones, I wish they were never invented, great Take indeed :D
Agreed. I have a cheap cell phone with no real browser and don't have data.
Okay cool for you. I just hope you don't get lost or in an accident.
Personally I can't live without my phone (s). They run my life.
You make a lot of good points. I need one for work, but I really don't use it that much, and I find it annoying when I'm out with friends and everyone is obsessing over their cells and ignoring each other!
Good points, I don't like cell phones either, excellent Mytake.
are you on a tablet or desktop either are also very distracting.
I can't exactly bring a desktop to hang out with my friend or go on a date, now can I?
yeah but it's stopping you from going out also most people only use their phone when they are trying to pas some time.
There are way more positives than negatives with a smartphone.
Most of your negative points, can be negated with some good 'ol fashioned self-discipline.
I only spend $100 a year on my smart phone because I have the cheapest limited data, minutes, & text plan possible. I use google hangouts for free wifi calling at home to save on minutes.
So #4 is debunked.
I have one for 911 purposes and I use mine like a computer. Im actually more connect to my loved ones and friends because of it. Nothing wrong with loving your cell phone.
Good take... glad you are thinking for yourself & not " following the sheep herd " , good on you !! I'm sick of dozy phone zombies bimbling around , never looking where the F they are going !!
I don't own one either. The only time it would be a problem is if you ever found yourself really needing one, Because I haven't seen a payphone in awhile.
But you are using a computer with internet to type this myTake. So you obviously need some form of modern communication.
It's like people calling a news show to protest TV.
I don't even use social media. It's mainly to communicate with people.
what do you use instead for friends?
@SovereignessofVamps I text.
I do that mostly too. I hate using SM.
I know plenty of people with smart phones (including me) who don't have these problems. Honestly, there are more benefits to smart phones but if you don't want one I'm not judging, it's your life.
