<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrsmat71, post: 3248426, member: 42634&quot;]I bet if you showed that to a young kid they wouldn&#039;t even recognize it as a phone!&nbsp; &quot;What is that?&nbsp; A garage door opener?&quot;&nbsp; LOL!&nbsp; I was on a similar phone until about a year ago, finally got a smartphone however.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Amen.&nbsp; I make it a point to not be available all the time.&nbsp; Half the time I don&#039;t have it on me, I think my eyes have been on my phone screen for maybe 30 seconds total today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some things I like about my phone: </p><p><br /></p><p>1. When I need directions I can find them quickly and have a robot lady voice read them to me as a drive down the road.&nbsp; Thanks robot lady!</p><p><br /></p><p>2. I can get in touch of my kids when ever I want, and there is hell to pay if they don&#039;t pick up.&nbsp; When I was in high school,&nbsp; that wasn&#039;t a way for my parents to cramp my style!! LOL!&nbsp; WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!&nbsp; 80&#039;s were awesome!!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>3. I can call (or text, even better) my wife when she is at the store when and tell her to pick me up stuff so I don&#039;t have to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. When I&#039;m debating with a friend what year Led Zeppelin released Physical Graffiti, we&nbsp; can quickly resolve this.&nbsp;&nbsp; I told you it was 1975 Jim!!&nbsp; Thanks Wikipedia! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Things I&#039;m not sure if I like or not....</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; My wife used to complain that I spent to much time on my PC.&nbsp; Since she spends every minute of her waking leisure time with a phone in her hand, I don&#039;t hear this compliant anymore.&nbsp; I&#039;m actually the one telling her she should probably get off the tech for a while!&nbsp; LOL!</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Remember when people used to say &quot;I wish I had a camera with me&quot;, no one says that anymore.&nbsp; Pros and cons there.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Things I don&#039;t like about phones...</p><p><br /></p><p>1. People talking on them loudly in public.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. People listening to audio on phones loudly. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a coin that is somewhat of a technological marvel for the time.&nbsp; This is a coin minted in the UK for use in France during a period in time where there was a shortage of small change.&nbsp; Matthew Boulton minted this coin using his new fanged steam engine!&nbsp; I&#039;m sure there was quite a debate about the use of this new technology and it effect on society at the time! </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]851782[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
