Generation Gap: Smart Phones

j-ten-ner · December 1, 2012

...Give a 10 year old legos or toys now and ur kid will run away ...

It is sad, isn't it?

I don't have a personal phone. Just a work phone. It is anoying enough.

My daughter (17) has got a simple cell phone too. Just for that she can be reached at or she can make a CALL!

Personally I hate texting. As stated by another user a call is 3x faster than texting back and forward.

And don't get my wrong but most people I see texting or surfing the net on their phone are not that kind of people who are to busy to make a call.

Anyway, when I'm so busy and not having time to call how do I have time to text a message?

Maybe that's one reason why many jung Canadians are so "exhausted"...lmao.

so long

Im a phone junky. Love my Android. I started with pagers when I was younger, and have had something every since.

Best use for phones, sitting in the mall waiting for the wife while she shops lol.

I text for quick things like "I'll be there in 10 min" or something but I don't get those who have real conversations via text.

because whats more awkward/annoying talking on the phone with long pauses or texting back and forth with long pauses lol i hate talking on the phone because then im restricted to holding a phone where texting i can just say whatever real quick and be done with it i dont need to make filler conversation

Exactly how I feel, I Txt more than I talk on the phone lol. It's easier. My Friends are the same too, cuz when you call they never pick up. But if you txt you get an answer within the hour usually.

Plus when I'm at work ur not allowed to have ur phone on you, so it's easier to sneak a txt here and there ahah

only time i talk on the phone is if its business or my friend that drives truck, if hes out on the road and needs help with something or i need help with something then im fine being on the phone so he can concentrate on the road, but other than that we usually just have dumb text conversations here and there lol

Prokopchuk_9 · December 8, 2012

Ya same thing, it's usually old ass people that actually call me ahah

Texting is a lot easier. Here is a text conversation. Lasted 10 minutes including wait time

My friend jason:"casino tonight?"

Me:"I thought we decided to go to the strip club"

Jason:"oh yeah, we did... which one?"

Me:"F*** it, let's go gamble. Aviator at 7"

Jason:"OK"

I just avoid talking to people by any means. Even though I have a work issued phone it never works so I use mine and that is by far the bulk of my minutes used monthly.
