Confession, I hate texting and truthfully cell phones. Basically the always connected world.

All of it just adds to the stress of always needing to communicate and not just relax. First I can't text as always mistyping...ALWAYS! Then auto correct changes to some crazy who knows. Now add on the always back and forth having to either type out a long message that takes forever due to above or the million back and forth short messages when already busy with everything else. Driving? Well you feel need to check in case important. 

I miss the days of none of it.

I have a friend who responds to texts several hours later, sometimes even the next day or two. Just turn into that guy 😆

 
I miss the old days of cell phones when they were just phones. They were made to make phone calls and that it. Basically, it has turned the country into mindless zombies with radiation pumping everywhere all in the name of convenience.

My dad has one of those phones. I just saw a guy use a flip phone the other day. They are still for sale and you can save money without a data plan. Nothing is stopping you guys.

^^ This.  If you need an immediate answer from me, you must call.  If you text me, I might respond 2 seconds later, or it might be 2 weeks later.

 
Has anyone else noticed an uptick of people using cellphones say in the last year? Let me rephrase this, do you find yourself mindless surfing on your cell phone more than normal in the last 5 months or so? Or do you notice others as well doing this? Maybe it's just the colder temps and the less of going outdoors, but I have noticed myself coming home in the evenings and sitting on my phone mindlessly scrolling looking at anything. I am trying to break myself of this lately (it's tough). But when I don't have my phone the cloudiness mind goes away. I was at a kid's thing last night and I looked all around me and every single parent, man and women were sitting on the phone except for me. It was so crazy to look at. Every single one of them. I was the only one listening to the guy giving the instructions to the kids. Just seems strange lately. Conspiracy, or just people being bored?
