I'm a dinosaur
-
I live in Brazil and have friends in portugal, there's no other way to keep in touch with them :( also, the lounge IS social media, but it's one almost free of cats and sensationalism.
I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english. (if you want we can speak in C# or VB.Net =p)

Why should you feel like a dinosaur? Farcebook has very limited appeal, Twitter is for, well, twits, phones today are just an excuse for "cool" people to act rude. Instead of feeling like a dinosaur, rejoice in the fact that you still know how to act like a human.
Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Please stand in front of my pistol, smile and wait for the flash - JSOP 2012

So true. Been to a movie recently? You have to sit through 5 mintues of them telling people to turn their freaking phones off. How dumb is that. Go to a movie house to learn manners. Used to be that someone walking down the street talking to themselves was crazy. Now people talk to themselves all the time.

I feel like an dinosaur, sometimes. Well I read about the guy who don't twitter. To be honest I don't know what I should do with Facebook or Twitter. I meet my friends and I don't give them a facebook update. But more strange to me: Everyone around me has a smartphone (at work almost all got an iphone). When I use the subway I sit down and read a book (well the former kind of book made out of paper). All the others use their smartphones (I can't even imagine what they do with them during the ride). In discothèque I go dancing, I sing the songs and have fun and a lot of people (most time girls) around me use their smartphones on the dancefloor, too. I can't figure out why?! Of course, sitting atthe bar, they all take their phones out and do - the hell knows what. My phone is in my car. I don't know why I should bring it for dancing. It's an old phone I must confess, but is there an app for having more fun while dancing? At work they guy are talking about apple-tv and that they watch TV on their iPad wireless. For what? The display is so tiny! They say it's better that watch TV on the phone! But I don't know why I should do it! I've got a TV, why should I watch on my Phone (not that this would be possible with my phone) or on an iPad at home? So, am I really the last one that can't understand it (except for my wife)? Perhaps I'm getting old. :rolleyes: Sorry for bothering you. I just had to write it down. :omg:

Because their hearing is mostly gone and it is the only way they can now talk to someone else on the dance floor.

Think about it...you just spent significant amounts of money to buy this device, to buy the service and to learn how to work it. If it is not in fact 'better' then you wasted your time and your money. Self deception is easier.

I guess I'm just a dinosaur also because I care more about interfacing with people the old fashion way...face to face. I use my phone for what it was intended for...as a phone, it's so old that when I show people they laugh at me.

Well I can help you out with the subway, some of them are reading a book same as you just a different format. The main benefit of the smart phone that I use as a reader, I never forget my book, so the blasted phone comes with me.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Because I thought I might be the last of my species and that it will become extinct like the dinosaurs.

My daughter does this & I didn't understand it, but try cutting a piece of card the same size as the screen (as you don't have a capable phone of your own). Sit where you would normally watch TV & hold the card up at a comfortable viewing distance. Which looks bigger? Regards, Stewart

Ah! I see! And therefore a smartphone is needed? Perhaps with a clubbing app? :-D

People have always been stupid. They just now have many ways to show it off to the world.
