Phone addiction

[bluetonium]

My missus is terrible for it. I've told her that if I ever try to recall her face, all I get is a facial outline and a black rectangular shape stuck in the middle. She asked me the other day if I still found her attractive, I said I have no idea, I've not seen your mush for months.

I can kind of see where he's coming from in a wierd way. Someone in a pub reading a book seems more sociable to me that someone doing the exact same thing but on a kindle. My mrs reads loads on her kindle and to me it seems a bit 'cold' whereas the book just seems so much more acceptable. I am, howewer, an old twat with old school values.

Silly sod probably thought it was a phone

Took me a while to get used to ebooks but I'd never go back to paper now, far too handy being able to carry around hundreds of books in your pocket and access them off any device.

I was determined to get used to reading books on my phone. Now I'm used to it it's great, always have my phone, places like doctors waiting room, bus etc.
Somebody gave me 2500 e-books, they're all on my phone.

I like having my library on my phone. I was sitting alone and wasn’t bothering anyone. I often feel sorry for the barmaids who have to listen to their boring stories and break up the inevitable scraps when someone has had too much.

The mrs has hers working off some ear pod things at work, it's like trying communicate with the dead, ignorant cow, she then complains when I shout to her.

Even worse are those fans that film themselves celebrating- it’s embarrassing and puts me off going.
Concerts are ruined nowadays with everyone standing there and filming constantly.

People filming everything at gigs & at the football is my pet hate. What's wrong with just living in the moment, enjoying what you're senses are telling you & creating memories in your brain?
Don't get me started on the TikTok coked up kids filming each other singing nursery rhymes on stadium concourses.

Having everything on your phone like banking etc scares me to death , i use my phone to talk and text , emergency internet if my broadband packs up and everything else is on a tablet that never leaves home

I wonder if people would still think this if I carried a book, notepad, walkman, camera, camcorder, and newspaper around with me as separate items?

I'm an FOC with a LANDLINE. I still don't own a mobile phone. Don't want one.
I must have been the only person on the planet that never got the memo saying everybody now needs a phone to live.
