Didn't have the fatsos when I was a kid.

Hows everything with you Dave?

I'm kind of the opinion kids shouldn't have a phone until they are eighteen but you would probably get a visit from cps

This thread is making me hungry. .

fat parents make fat children, restraint and self-control are taught by the example of the parents
public schools and TV define the size of the problem

Public schools are the WORST place to send kids..BRAINWASHING and INDOCTRINATION!

Blame generation X.
It's our fault.

Hey Chris, I'm doing fine...well, the best I can living in Babylon that is. How are you my friend?

It's funny how many are under the illusion that technology is improving our lives. I lived decades before those zombie phones and didn't need one.
I still don't have a zombie phone. Can anyone tell me why I would need one? What's so great about them? What's wrong with a land line and a home P.C. that I shut off all day?

Well, plain and simple....The masses are being lead to the slaughter house. They are addicted. They pour out all their personal info and can be tracked at all times.
If you fatten up the sheep, they will be tasty morsels for big Pharma with all the illnesses. The sicker humans are, the more money they will make.
Schools aren't that important for brainwashing anymore.....The zombies are brainwashing each other....Willing slaves giving in to algorithms.
Just keep walking in front of traffic, glued to your phones and nature will cull them out. Survival of the fittest (and smartest.)

BC1969, EVERY generation is a slave to that phone....young and old!

The same people who use smart phones are also making groundbreaking advances in all of the sciences. From medical to astronomical. No stoping it. Maybe they're called SMARTphones for a reason. You have access to vast store houses of knowledge and information in the palm of your hand.

times change, adapt or step aside
it really matters not at all what any of us think for or against change, it will/does happen

Change is inevitable,things get better or things get worse nothing stays the same and I sure do not see humanity getting any better!
The ONLY unchanging is GOD.
