I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: It depends on when you're asking me that question. A year ago today I was working on the basement and other projects. Right now I practically live online while doing my current project. It's not social media and there's not a lot of human interaction outside of mainly my posting here. But I'm spending more than my fair share of time staring at a screen these days. I like not having it when I go out though. Forces me out of my comfort zone. I have an easy enough time retreating into myself when I'm at home. I can't even imagine doing that to myself 24/7/365 with that thing in my pocket. I'm sure at this point somebody might even view me as a curiosity when sitting at in places like the waiting room at the doctor or before getting a haircut. Pretty much anybody under 100 years old is sitting there with their phone pulled out except for me. People forget that GPS units without a cell phone are still a thing too. I have 3 of them and they're all hand me downs. The batteries on them don't work anymore, but as long as they're plugged into the cigarette lighter they still link up to the satellite just fine and get you where you need to go. Most things people use their phones for they'd live just fine without. The did up until 10 or 12 years ago since the beginning of time. Ain't nothing so important that I can't wait until I get home to look it up. And if I forgot about it by then it probably wasn't that important anyway. -------------------------------------------------- Trump is fine. He is also your current President.
