BOB and Smart Phones

KatieM posted a rant on “Smart Phones” - here

BOB totally agrees -

And thinks that "smart" phones are for the people -

Who use/want/need "technology" as a substitute -

For actually being "smart" themselves.

“Technology” is just so damn convenient -

People begin to crutch on it -

Using spell-checkers instead of dictionaries -

GPS instead of maps -

Until -

The "technology" becomes the norm -

And there is no alternative.

For example -

I use the dictionary in my head -

And learned to spell at an early age - ;))

I don't want/need GPS -

I can read a map -

But try to find a map to read -

"Everyone" has GPS.

So - because I can't find a map -

I am basically forced to use GPS -

Because -

There is no alternative - UGH!!

And then what happens -

When the GPS puts you out in the middle of nowhere -

And you can’t find a map -

To get you back to where you “should” be - ????



But then again - it's probably just me - ;))
