Anyone Else Hate Smartphone Addicts?

[InfernalTater]

Question: Do I hate Smartphone Addicts?

Answer: Yes and no. People who suddenly whip out their smartphones when I'm trying to talk to them and ignore me (not counting miffed), in front of me at a stoplight, or tell me to go out and buy one when they find out I don't have a smartphone, YES.

I don't have a smartphone, but I'm in no rush to get one. I've seen practically all of my peers get them and wave them in my face with bitterness and, to a point, envy. I can't afford a smartphone, and my parents are in control. Sometimes I want to dope-slap those who tell me to go out and buy one even after I tell them that I don't have a job to sustain one. My parents will never buy me one because they feel that a flip-phone is all that I need (which is actually true).

If you are asking me if I think these people should "realize theirs more to life than what they're doing", then no. So call me a misanthropist I really don't care if someone else smokes/drinks/uses electronics/eats to their deaths. It will decrease a booming human population.

Except that unless you are very unlucky, being stupid is not fatal. If anything, being stupid means more offspring.

Electronics are the future, humans are progressing towards future. Who knows what the world will be in next 50 years.

Humans divided into three groups? One is for normal people, one for smartphone addicts and one for those who miss the Stone Age. Perhaps also a group of medieval people?

There are no groups. People can become addicted to everything, having no phone, having phone. It's all matter of preference and will. However thy wills it.

This whole thread is a big nonsense.. Wondering who is gonna write next hypocritical message.

Maybe such addictions are to deal with reality by staying in a blissful ignorance to shun the real world (blue pill), as opposed to going cold turkey and living life and the outside world (red pill).

Not that I'm disdaining people who take the blue pill, I've been doing that for over a decade.

I've stayed at a bro of mine for a day.
He looks at his phone ALL DAY.
All he does is check Whatsapp, check two other instant messengers, check fagbook, play quiz duel, repeat - ALL FUCKING DAY.
I get the impression he's a real zombie...
