Technology: Who Needs It?wodgyJanuary 28 2010, 16:11:15 UTC
It is annoying when you are telling someone about what is going on in your life while they are fiddling about with their phone. I think it is a last-gasp attempt at looking popular while they are with you in a kind of silly superiority game. "I've got more friends than you! Na Na Na Na Na!!".
Why do people feel the need to text jibberish to people all the time for anyway? Back in the 80's, we would go to our friends home if we wanted to speak to them and we lived our lives without a care in the world. These days there is almost an unbearable pressure to stay in touch with everybody. Also, back then we had to remember everybody's phone number. These days nobody knows anyone's phone number because it is saved on their fiddly apparatus so they don't need to remember.
In the future, maybe technology will push mankind's minds back to the stone age because they are not aware of how hard life can be without it.

I agree with you that there is a lot of pressure to stay in touch all the time with everybody. The thought of missing any phone call or text message scares some people these days. When I was younger, I also had to write down people's numbers so I could remember them. You also have a good point about people playing with their phones in order to look like they have a social life. Of course they need to put it away or they won't gain any new friends to call! Take care of yourself!
