i'm sorry, but i just honestly don't have a use for a phone.

- i don't have any friends.
- the only family i talk to is my ageing and increasingly out of it grandmother
- i don't have a job

but, more importantly is that i interact with the internet very actively - i don't consume media, i create it. so, i like things like keyboards and mice and big monitors.

a phone just strikes me as a computer with a really small screen and a very difficult data entry procedure. just a lot of headaches.

to an extent, is that kind of the point? to stop people from typing?

listen: i get that it might be, that a push to get people away from their keyboards and back to their idiot boxes might be in the interests of the elite. but, i'm just not going to do it. if they could somehow succeed in reducing the internet into a watching & listening experience, i'd get bored with it and tune out. i'd keep typing and just file it on my hard drive. or, maybe i'd just get back to recording...and reading actual books...

i don't pay for cable because i wouldn't watch it if i had access for free. and, as it is, i don't consume the media being pushed down - i'm not even aware of what most of it even is.

so, when i say that a phone is just an expensive paperweight, i actually mean it.
