I recently read that the new iPhone costs $1000.
Can you believe that a
telephone costs more than many people pay their government in taxes? I
am not sure why they call it a "phone" because those gadgets long ago
made calling on them a secondary function. It's because the inventors
of all the new apps and features of those cell phones have to keep
adding useless junk to them in order to charge idiots $1000 to buy them.
Amazingly, people seem to wait in line hours before a new phone is
launched, somehow deluded enough to think they need the latest edition
of a new phone or that they may not be able to purchase one if they are
not first in line the first day it's sold. Since I have never owned a
cell phone of any type, I don't feel the irrational attraction to it
that owners have to it. Maybe those phones have a"nicotine" somewhere
in them as do cigarettes. I wonder if any studies have been done to
rate the addictive quality of a cell phone to cigarettes to heroine or
even more powerful substances that take control of human willpower.
Too, I wonder when there will not longer be any new apps and features
to add to those phones, so that the phone itself will be replaced with
another communication technology that is more appealing to humans. They
did try to do that already when Apple released that Apple Watch that
users wear, supposedly to replace of the cell phone. It seems to have
been a dud. If there is a new communication device that makes the cell
phone addicts throw away their cells, I will be a happy man.
It might
mean that can we return to the simple device called a telephone, a one
use product that makes and receives calls and is located in a
stationary spot in one's house. Long live the Land line! Bring it back
and civilization will soon follow.
