Why does everyone use phones? I mean i can't even type on it, and if i can, i'm typing like a slug. It ruins your eyes, and people throw away 100s of dollars on a phone that has 1 new feature. It seems like people who don't have phones are like excluded from society. "They can cause many bad things to your health" says google, but i don't believe that would actually happen to the common person who uses phones like their lives depended on it.  Just saying, it is fine if you disagree with my arguments(as you should), as i am a idiot who you shouldn't listen to.

I would rather have a phone and not need it than need one and not have it.

yes they can be so do not use them too much. sometimes when I go out, I do not take my phone with me. it feels pretty good I have to say :) I mean people can (easily xP) miss me for a couple of hours and it's stressful to check your phone all the time

I need a phone. I run a successful business and am constantly getting calls, texts, and emails I need to pay attention to for core functions of the company. However this phone only functions during work hours. Which for me is 9am-9pm mon-sat. Every other hour nothing happens. The phone is literally programmed to auto shut off in my off time. Which has greatly increased my mental health and productivity on personal projects as compared to when I didn’t use it. Despite being successful, I still use an old iPhone 8. I could easily afford whatever option is newest and it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, but if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This phone has been with me since before I started this company and I think I’ll keep it until it dies to be honest.

In Canada we just lean out the window and shout at each other.

Politely.

I don’t comply with society. I’m that one person who’ll make smiley faces out of his chess pieces and still win, (or lose, doesn’t really matter when I’m in those moods).

I forgot about this forum...

Yeah, go woollensock! Woohoo. I don’t even use smoke signals. I just scream what I want to say at the top of my lungs and just hope the message reaches its destination.

I use an ancient technique called "phone call" where you talk into a phone without doing a zoom
