    Ignoring the gram-hatical inconsistensisies (sic ), I sorta know where you're coming from.

    It seems any time I'm in a social group nowadays everybody takes their turn to be antisocial every ten minutes with their nose buried in their BBM, FB, Twitter or some other such bollix.

    I've been sat in rooms full of people and every single person is wrapped up in their phone, ignoring everybody else there in front of them IRL.

    This is my current phone, I'm so uncool I'm fucking cool!



    No internet, no camera, no nattin', strictly texts and calls.

    Yeah, I like that phone. Myself got a similar or cheaper version: 600-700 baht (about $20 US, for you non-Thai rezidents). also noticed about half the world is always looking at their cellphones but not actually saying or texting anything.

    I have almost the same thing, Samsung E2250. Mine has a camera (that I never use) and an FM radio function that is quite nice. I also use it to play audio books to me while I fall asleep, currently working through The Complete Sherlock Holmes Stories

    I've dropped it a bunch of times and after I put the battery back in and pop the cover back on it has always restarted with no issues.

    I've got a five year old Nokia. Can phone up people, receive calls, send sms etc.

    Good for me. I think it has a camera on it too. In fact, i think Slap has the same one.

    Individuals being so afraid of being individual. ha, ha. I love that. And it's tempting to blame society for society's ills. Blame the individuals who do not see their individuality.

    Could be they're reading the news, surfing the web, playing those stupid online games, checking their calendars, viewing their photos.... Phones ain't just phones anymore (though I admit, I use mine just as a phone, and I do find it rude if I'm with someone and they ignore me just to be fiddling with their phone)

    You forgot checking teakdoor, which is what I'm usually doing.
    I just found out I can watch movies and TV shows on my phone.
    And listen to tracks, then search clips and stuff.
    I'm often just fucking around with the phone.

    Maybe it over individualizes us , then?

    Vidualized

    Humanimals are not society, humans long around before society.

    Led Zep. the first alternative rock band- how dated it sounds now. Or is that just listening to it gazillion times?

    Got a LZ story well really just a Plant story, it was at Durty Harry's, a bar in Key West around 1994...

    No, I think you're correct that it strips individuality, but I also think it isolates while giving the appearance of connecting us.

    It's not looking busy, but being busy. Too busy to?

    Agree It is rude to have someone fiddle on their phone. One needs to excuse themselves as if a third party needs their attention.

    I was at the waterpark today (again, we got season passes) I couldn't believe how many checking their phones even at the waterpark.
    But I think what a lot of them were doing was taking pictures and adding them to social networking sites.

    You could always go and live in Pakistan or Vietnam.
    You should, please.
    You strike me as one who despises the society that gives you such a good life, or at least gives you the opportunity to make a good life for yourself.
    You really SHOULD go live in pakistan or Vietnam, maybe then you'll learn to appreciate what you've got you snivelling little kunt.

    Believe me, I'd choose to live in Vietnam or Pakistan rather than in America. Especially in Pakistan's tribal region, one of the last free places on Earth. There are two countries I would never go to, Israel and the US.
