All the weird useless fucking apps. All the stupid games and novelty bullshit and glittery shiny excrement. iPads and kindles and notepads and stylus and twittershpere and instagram and FUCK IT ALL. What a bunch of trash. Who the fuck can fork over hundreds of dollars for this tripe? Seems to me it's a reflection of our increasingly retarded culture, perhaps?

Yeah I wasn't sure I'd really be able to generate conversation it's just this weird feeling that humans are just becoming machines. We're disconnecting from the now and handing over our consciousness to mindless self indulgence in the form of shiny electronic novelty turds. I mean when a group of people in a room are ALL on their phones, I mean, FUCK. There is no tomorrow, yet so many take everything and everyone for granted and just jerk off on their gizmos and gadgets all day.

Don't blame people that like shiny new stuff because you can't afford it.
Also, stupid people buy stupid things. Technology is incredible yet has always had frivolous shit..you just have to dig through it to find the good shit.

Dude, I work in the oilfields. I'm not rich, but I've got plenty of money. I have that money because I don't buy stupid shit.
edit: read your second post. I mean I'm poor in the grand scheme, but I'm rich in the grand scheme too.
Genuine question - what good shit have you found?

What do you think people thought about cars when they were first introduced? Computers, same thing. The list goes on.
Technology has its silly offshoots, but it is part of development, just like everything.
I hardly doubt you dont own or use daily something that was once considered trivial.
I find it ironic you posted this on an electronic internet forum. I'm sure there was people like you who once said "Talking in groups on the internet? why not just talk in person?"
Same shit.

Oh look, a christian judging people and condemning technology, there's a shocker.
What difference does it make if someone uses instagram to host their pics or any other site. People are social creatures, I think it's dumb to chronicle your life for anyone to see for privacy reasons but oh well, if you don't like it don't use it. I take it you have a facebook account if you're using instagram, do you not?
Kindles are useful as fuck and contribute to people reading, they're also a technological inevitability due to the costs of producing paper.
You couldn't sound more like a crotchety old man than by saying fuck apps and games and shit. Are you against phones having music, too?

Yes there's obvious irony involved but look past that obvious hole.
Cars have utility. Hard to argue with cars. Twitter? No utility, just an engine for gossip and spreading retarded opinions across vast distances.

Well its all relative to the individual really.
The things that I've always enjoyed is computers, game consoles and phones. I know they seem simple but the fact that I continue to be blown away by them is amazing. I know they will never feel like they did when they first came out but even if they continue to have that effect somewhat here and there is good enough for me.
Those are just the things that I enjoy and like using. But I mean a lot of the things that technology does may seem frivolous because you become used to them, but in fact the world won't be able to function without them now (unless we prepare for it).

Yeah so let's just advance in technology and not use it for things people apparently want, because you don't like it, its all useless. Lets just use computers for work and storing data, and not even attempt to use it for anything else.. Get with the times dude, go live in a hole.

"FUCK IT ALL" isn't condemning it? Correlating it with "an increasingly retarded culture" isn't judging the people who use these things?
I'm sure all you need is your grandpappy's copy of da good book, ain't that right?

true, true. I agree on the large scale with ya. Hell I use it all day, tig welders, my car, my phone, & etc. I think maybe the source of my bitching is that I fucking despise touchpads. I LIKE buttons. Give me buttons, or give me death
