Do you think people are slaves to thier phones?

[massb]

Whenever im walking or on the bus or just going out. I see people constantly looking down at thier phones and never look up. Its okay to walk and enjoy the world without being on your phone 24/7. What do you all think? I think people are

Yes

Maybe

No

They’re communicating with others on their phone, more likely than not. It’s fine to enjoy alone time but some people prefer to have conversations or update their boss or something else. It’s not the end of the world if a stranger doesn’t want to talk to you.

Lol has nothing to do with talking to me. I've literally seen people ao glued to tbier phones they start walking into traffic and people cuz they aren't paying attention

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m surprised you don’t stop them when that happens

[WonderingManII]

Phones are computers and computers kinda enslave us. For example everyday I got to update my computer software. That takes time away from other things I would like to be doing. Today my phone needed to be updated, and that took time away from what I wanted to get done.

It's a tool. No different then a hammer or screwdriver. The problem comes when it's your only tool and don't even know how to use it.

Think of it like a car. You know your shit and make the most out of it. Then there's dumb fucks who slap things together.

[massb]

Yea I agree and its rotting people's brains at this point

[NaultD]

I fundamentally disagree. The phone or the internet at our fingertips is a good tool for the better with a large learning curve.

This new age of AI slop is potential disastrous and every fear is now more real then ever.

Good question! Yes, I'm a slave to my phone. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[massb]

What makes that tge case and will that ever change

[FunkyMonkee]

A LOT of them are!! Thankfully, I'm not!! If it wasn't for calling my girlfriend every day, I doubt I'd even turn it on more than once a month!!

[massb]

I agree bro

[Chazmatazz269]

No. It’s an addiction or a compulsion, not slavery.

[red-lipstick-girl]

Yes, I am a slave too

[massb]

Do you think you'll ever not be so addicted?

[exitseven]

Yes, many cannot be without their phones.

[DrPepper12]

Yup.
