Anyone else tired of these fuckers?

Everyone else using them 24/7, from ages 0 to 65, unbelievable. They are always talking/taking pictures, im tired of this shit, and Im treated like an outcast for not having one.
What's so much fun about this? or whatsapp? I dont see the appeal, people are sick

If a guy doesn't have the newest Iphone i'm like Ignoooore, like the other day Stacy met this cute guy in the mall and she asked him to add her on snapchat and he said he didn't have it , like what a creep am i right

Thank god I don't have one of these absurdities. I don't want to look like a zombie.

Great devices that are used wrong.
I rarely use a pc anymore because browsing on a phone is just as easy.
Only use PC for work really. Eventually these devices will become so powerful they can run any work program, at which point pc's will become obsolete except for gaming and extremely intensive stuff like 3d rendering.

>look at me I dont have a touchscreen phone im so special read my blog pls

Send from my iPhone

Never had one, never will.

my phone's call alert doesnt work, and if i didnt need it for work, i wouldnt repair/replace it. when i do replace it, im getting the shittiest cheapest flip phone i can find

I wish the t18 was still on the market

I don't have one either
as an American its almost unheard of

I have a house phone and I only use it for work and stuff

they cost a lot of money
using them costs more money
people look at their phone all day and don't pay attention to whats going on around them. they could be doing something productive with their time but the phone has a firm grip on both their balls

I don't use any social media on my phone, but whatsapp makes communicating a lot more efficient in my opinion. I mainly use it for communicating and planning meetings with a few of my old friend groups. Also pretty useful for work/school related stuff. I still don't like the mindless zombies that stare at their notifications 24/7.

It's creepy as fuck watching them glued all the time on the street

I love having a modern phone. I can browse pol on the dunny while taking a shit.

You have to be available for contact at any moment 24/7 people think you're weird if you're offline. There's no turning back

Very simple answer here:

Humans are fucking retards.

I have a smartphone, but with no data package, because these are a rip-off in Germany.
Result: It's just a phone, people have to call or text me, if they want something.

also you're gf if you have one is constantly on every social network out there constantly messaging guys, not necessarily cheating but making backup on top of backup in case you break up.

This tbqh

you need friends to enjoy them OP

Seeing middle aged/old people glued to their phones creeps me out.

i still want to go back to my old phone, literally all these smartphones are good for is gps which the gubbermint uses to keep you on a leash

True aussie shitposting.

don't those phones cost like $800?
and the phone company charges you like $50 every month?

is this why people cant make it on minimum wage?
I make like $300 a week and I live with my mom but I am seriously saving to buy a house with very little if any debt
I have 3 trucks. insurance on 2 of them

If your GF maintains those profiles while you're in a long term relationship that's a red flag

i know you're trolling but
>girl asks guy for contact info
>he turns into creep when he doesn't have it

With their new FaceID system on the iPhone X (which is unnecessary compared to the better Touch ID), apple is cataloguing faces as well as how faces change over time.

Combine that with increasing research about faces and being able to tell if someone is “racist” or “low IQ” based on face alone, you’ll see thought crime in your life time.

>don't those phones cost like $800?
My phone did cost 100 euros.
>and the phone company charges you like $50 every month?
My cell company charges me zero euros per month.

I am thinking about getting rid of my phone and replacing it with a dumb phone. i hate this constant connection and wasting my time looking at a phone screen. I just wanna go back to the good old days where this shit didnt exist

I have one but no social media and my contacts list is literally my mom and brother. I'm thinking about selling it desu I barely use it

Sadly lots of girls are like this. I tell them I don't have facebook and they are shocked. HOW COULD YOU NOT BE ON FB OMGGG

I don't use it either. And I was always puzzled why normies looking at them all the time. Do they checking their faceberg, twatter or instagram every few minutes or what?

Just cancel your data plan.
Voila, you have dumb phone now.

i don't understand why normies need to "stay in touch". i understand when you're frequently chatting with family abroad, but why would you need to stay in touch with folks you see everyday anyways?
i don't get this fairly popular mindset.

You will never be able to do content creation on a fucking phone. By the time that happens we'll all be dead.

It's just one giant mating ritual at this point.

I think the phone keeps using data they just charge you more when you dont have a plan

must be a Europe thing

I looked them up
all between 500 and 900 burgerbucks
I know you can get and old fashioned thing for less
and you will have a bill every month in America

it takes a lot of money and 98% of people have them

Can’t buy a phone user?

you mean Satan phones? my trusty dumb phone broke and they only sell these huge rectangular ones now

All these new IPhones are just a cash grab with no new features. I just stay with my IPhone 5s for now, saves me a shit ton of money.

Social media is made to condition the users into addictiveness, simple Pavlovian conditioning. Likes, upvotes, phone notifying you of stuff happening.

Awesome technology, but it's indeed gone a bit too far. The way most use it is like a drug-laced adult pacifier.

Posted from my iPhone.

ITT fags talking about stuff which is different in every country

In Germany it's a given to buy phones without contract and pick a contract for a cheap as 3 yuro up to 50 yuro a month or just stick to prepaid. Cheap networks are shit but I can still jack off to stuff from /gif/

Every country where customers are forced to get the phone with a contract or where getting them separate is more expensive is fucking cucked beyond belief

They cost like 30$ for a simple prepaid one. They're accessible AF you cheap bastard.

The Jew Fruit Company will ensure you can hardly use your 5S in a year or so. My (backup) Iphone 4 can't even run the mobile banking app.

Android is at least a hair better in that regard, but alas Gewgle.

>I think the phone keeps using data they just charge you more when you dont have a plan
You can disable the data service in every phone.
>must be a Europe thing
The cheap phones are simply Chinese-made.

I don’t even use mine for phone calls or texting, I just use it religiously for the news or stupid videos.

>snapchat does not work on rooted phones
Why live

i dont have one, have no problem with it

Have the Nexus 6P. NO social media or whatsaup or stupid crapware. Just phone and google. Im actually taking a huge dump while browsing pol

Rather than standing around in silence, people use their phone to get more productivity out of the day.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Keep being productive, wagecucks.

So? If people like it, then it's good. This us why I don't understand why pol like the 1950s so much.

People lived shit lives back then, and had poorer living conditions and had none of the tech and medicine we have now.

Nowadays, people (including women) have opportunities to use this capitalist system to gain their social status, earn money, and travel the world. Flights are also cheap now.

We live in a networking and global world now, and this is a good thing. Everything is at the touch of a screen, and you can even arrange to meet people through facebook, or even find your next date on tinder. You have easy access to porn, food is now heap and globalised so you can ear foreign products, and people live longer.

People can also make money at home too. Weather its online business, and some people can even get on twitch and start a pateon. Music is pretty much free too, and a lot better than shitty limited 1950s ''rock and roll', and ''blues'' crap that just consists of a guitar and a fat man on a drum kit.

Civilisation is at it's peak right now and it's never been better, but retards who want to find excuses hate it.

Fully agree OP.

It's an addiction just like smoking or gambling.
And just because everybody is addicted doesn't mean you or I should too.

People who spend more time on social media are on average more unhappy.
So it's not something we miss, it's a trap we managed to avoid.

I do own a smartphone but I refuse to sign up to Whatsapp, Twitter, Snapchat or Facebook.
If people want to contact me they can call or send an SMS or e-mail, that's plenty options.

>Nowadays, people (including women) have opportunities to use this capitalist system to gain their social status, earn money, and travel the world

What are you talking about? Women have been able to use the capitalist system for as long as its existed.

Yet more people are depressed than ever.

And people are getting dumber too: they have access to good information but instead only consume social media and fake news.

Thank you user. I knew Sup Forums would understand.

>chinese phones
>zte isnt chincom owned
just fuck my shit up sampai

Ummm sweetie, why wouldn't you want to be available 24/7, are you trying to hide something?

Tired. I usually keep my phone at home and turned off.

flip phones are still king ifyouaxme

They have their uses, but of course everyone is addicted to them. It's all a part of (((their))) plan.

This. My girl was outraged and everyone wants to communicate over snapchat like a bunch of fags.

I have a Nokia brick that I never use. Fuck portable phones in general. They've ruined this generation.

It's just the decay of society. It'll all be over as soon as the reset is activated, hopefully soon.

Cheer up OP

I'm using slack for communications, is it hip enough?

Just to read my emails and read some pdfs
I don't care about real-time messaging, games, social media or any shit.

Goddamn amazing. You have the sum of all human knowledge right in your pocket.

Get better at setting boundaries, you pussy.

>i watch a tear carve down her cheek because the date is Nov. 1st and by the time i would have any minutes to talk to her, she knows as well as i, that i will have long forgotten about her.

>needing approval from brain-dead materialist shit normies

What if I told you it's how I keep up with Sup Forums and shitposting, and how I helped contribute to makeapp threads?
The problem isn't that we use smartphones, the problem is that we use them poorly. Inefficiently. Unproductively.

pretty sure girls like it when you're not linked up on social media. i think it gives them peace of mind that you're not chatting up an ex on fb or some shit.

I have an iPhone SE, but only cos it's small, and barely anybody makes decent small phones now, they're all obsessed with giant tabletesque handsets.

I also don't use Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, or any of that shit.

I have Telegram with two contacts (my lady and my dad), and I use WhatsApp purely for work purposes.

My calls are mostly on permanent divert to voicemail because despite the fact I'm 39, most of my friends want to ring me and talk about inane bullshit all the time and I don't.

If I could get away with not having a phone then I would, unfortunately I can't.

Great story, but surely they know how cheap flipphones are

It's 'sent'.

FÜHLST DU DICH JETZT BESSER, JA?

swag

From what I learnt the guys 18-25 all orbit on facebook and snapchat and that shit, so it's constant contact, which gets annoying.

They just want a guy who puts their cock in them, not some friend who wanted to talk or like each others photos.

At 30 I'm on the cusp of two generations; the one before the internet was normalised and the one where the internet was normalised.

Girls under 30 grew up thinking the internet was just a part of life, being a nerd to them is like being a chad to them. They're used to guys texting them all the time and sending them messages and being computer literate.

It's fucking strange man.

t.boomer

>Anyone else tired of these fuckers?
Not by the devices themselves, but yeah, definitely by the way people use them. I don't care if someone stares at their phone the whole time while sitting on the bus or whatever, but when I talk to someone and he keeps looking at his phone it's pretty infuriating. Or when you meet up with someone and the first thing they do after sitting down is putting their phone on the table, display up.

I am a super addict when it comes to internet consumption, but even I am capable of just leaving my phone in the fucking pocket for a couple hours.

Che Boludo
I have crap $35 smartphone so I can listen to audiobooks have calculator etc.
But I totally understand your feels.

Thank you user, probably the best laugh i've had in a long time.

You should really try the Mark of the Beast Prototype!!!!

Pretty soon you won't be able to buy or sell without it.

>Or when you meet up with someone and the first thing they do after sitting down is putting their phone on the table, display up.

this FUCKING SHIT
youre not FUCKING IMPORTANT
nobody GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOU
put your fucking EMERGENCY BEACON AWAY

It's simple, have one but dont use it, the same applies for fb and whatsapp. aAdd some friends and thats it, don't use it for real communication, but just for keep up with the new social norms.
They are here to stay, there's no turning back.

Or when you're planning something, and everyone would rather text back and forth for 20 minutes than, god forbid, make a 2 minute phone call.

>At 30 I'm on the cusp of two generations; the one before the internet was normalised and the one where the internet was normalised.

Same desu. I didn't have internet at home until I was 15 and didn't have a cellphone until I was 18. I think because of this I have never really embraced social media, or keep my cellphone always on and near me. Sometimes people text me and I don't respond for hours. This typically annoys younger people, so much so that they'll often send multiple messages.

As a millenial (born in 88), I find I have little in common with someone born in 1997, and have begun to think that our generation needs to be broken up into 2 sub generations. Those born 1982-1990 grew up in a completely different world than someone who is 18-20 today.

Its technology. Either get with the times or get left behind. Not much else your pissing and moaning is going to get you

>problem
>we
We have problems with them but the biggest problems with them are the normies that get enslaved by them. (We) are not the main issue.

send me a dick pic

That is my precise feel. I didn't have a mobile until late teens. I never gave a shit about people. I ignore everybody and I only contact them when I want to unless they're a very close friend or family and need something.

But those born 1989-2000 think the internet "always was" and being in constant contact with people in your circle "always is" and they bug the fuck out when you're not like that. We're just on the cusp.

Anyway if you want tight 20 year old pussy ignore them and make fun of their beta friends.

>don't have any social profile acc, except g+, it was forced on me, because gmail.
>don't have smartphone
>use nokia c2-01, only calls and music
If people need me they call me.
If I need them, I call them.
I don't need to know about 100 people's daily life and I don't need people messaging me for various nonsense daily routines.
I don't want to see people enjoying their expensive vacations, when I do actually know that they running low on cash.
People are stupid, they don't realize that when I want to hire somebody, I don't have to actually call them to come for interview, quick 5 min look at fb page tells more than he/she could tell me on interview.
I don't say "don't use it", I say use it wisely, otherwise shitposting on fb can ruin your carrier and opportunities.

I feel like there's some kind of weird mind virus that has morphed from the digital realm to become a highly contagious biological infection.
Years from now people will see photos from this era and be amazed at just how everyone is staring at or holding a phone.
Like when you see old movies and everyone is smoking in a restaurant.
"They just didn't know about the cancer back then."

>i watched the alex jones germany army video last night
>hurr durr smartphone zombies

I work in a store that sells and does a lot of support work on phones, and it has really opened my eyes and I started using my own a lot less because of the things I have observed.

But what I have learned, is that women over the age of 30 are the absolute worst, especially those in their 40s and early 50s. No age group of men or young women can compare. They take 20-30 pictures of everything. EVERYTHING. I don't think it is possible for them to simply enjoy a moment. Women in this age are the only ones still posting statuses and pictures and whatnot on Facebook (young people only share links and informational stuff and use it as communication instead of showcasing their personal lives). They document everything there. They create this superficial lie that is bigger than young women's instagrams.

The tophat of our generation. Something that can be justified as useful but for some reason becomes a meme that the soygoys and soygirls just start using without any thought.

Anyone got that link that talks about how the newer generation doesn't like social media and that the millennial will be the ones still on social media in their 50s?

Kids today will be online less than the older generation and would prefer other ways of communication. Maybe in virtual space.

>Anyway if you want tight 20 year old pussy ignore them and make fun of their beta friends.

Kek, this is exactly what I do, and holy shit does it work. I was dating a 21 year old for the better part of the summer. This chick and all her friends, had like half a dozen social media accounts, and couldn't go more than a few minutes without checking her phone.

And the weirdest thing, is none of them seemed to have any concept of shame or privacy. I literally got bob and vagene pics from all her friends just by asking. This was 100% totally opposite of how it was when I was in school in 2004.

Its a brave new world. All the guys who tapped out and married girls 26+ or date 26+ don't understand it. Gen Z are fucking simpletons.
