kent_white Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Is anybody else suffering from this? I can't leave the fucking thing alone for longer than 5 minutes. I'm forever checking Facebook, WW, BBC, Newsnow on a never ending cycle. I honestly reckon a psychiatrist would say I've got a compulsive disorder of some kind. But it's behaviour that seems so normal nowadays that I don't see it as being a problem - where perhaps I really should. My attention span is basically ruined and I can't remember how I used to get on prior to their invention. Most of the time it's nothing constructive or useful either.

Breightmet Boy Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm now at the stage of being bloody sick of my phone thank god, nobody ever text or phones me, it's the same old stuff on Facebook etc that really has started to bore me. I hate people using it in my company, it's extremely ignorant and rude. I've got 15% data left until 29th of this month, from 3G of data allowance that's disgraceful.

Youri McAnespie Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's twenty years since I started regularly using the t'internet, back then the content was largely the creation of geeks, academics and anoraks... These days it's largely created by self-obsessesd needy narcissistic morons so I mainly give it a swerve. W/ways, Wikipedia and referencing stuff, The BEN, Ebay, booking flights and hotels etc. and doing the odd bit of shopping is my only leisure use of the 'net these days...

kent_white Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 I reckon I'd spent as long learning to play the piano as I have wanking over Internet porn - I'd be a concert pianist by now.

Site Supporter Spider Posted September 22, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2016 The thing is, it's possible to maintain healthy relationships with other people, without actually having to smell them or catch their germs. Perhaps most importnantly of all though, I am never more than 5 seconds away from the ability to see Emma Watson's face superimposed onto a porn actress in a hardcore lesbian scene. We all owe Berners-Lee a huge debt of gratitude for that alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) On the contrary, I do loads of ace stuff but I don't crow about it, I report on the mundane, so as not to make anyone feel left out. I'm great, me, narcissistic? Never. (I also keep it real - moronic). Anyhow, to conclude, anyone on Facebook is a twat (on there), and there's never been anything to convince me otherwise.

gonzo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I'm a nightmare. If I leave something in the van which could be literally yards away I can't walk there without checking my phone during the 3 second trip. Have the same check routine too....

Blondi Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Do families actually sit down around the dining table and have a proper conversation these days without a pesky mobile phone being used?

Site Supporter Spider Posted September 22, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted September 22, 2016 In the last hour I've used mine to do the following: Facebook WW Emails Texts Search the uk patent office to see if I'm an accidental genius (I'm not) Spent ten minutes drawing a cock and balls on someone's face with a paint app so I can upset someone on Facebook Twitter Used the torch Calculator Oh, and I actually used my phone to talk to someone.

Find I leave mine lying around these days, to the point I don't know where it is unless it rings. Could of course be age related forgetfulness before anyone else says!

stevieb Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Me and the Mrs are a fucking nightmare for it. Will have some drivel on in the background whilst we fuck about on phones all night. She then pisses me off by having another twenty mins when we go to bed (obvs after the best 9 seconds of her life every other month).

kent_white Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 My new phone links itself to our TV and when you're watching a video - a button appears so you can beam in to the telly. It's only a matter of time until I accidentally interrupt the Mrs' Bake Off viewing after I've had an 'early night'. Whoever designed that button is a fucking maniac!

You'll just learn to turn WiFi off and take the hit on data. Don't ever think of getting a stereo that links to your phone via Bluetooth either.

When I try and get porn on my phone it wants to give me the third degree... Bizarrely you can image search using google all manner of explicit stuff, but try and open anything remotely adult and the nosy cunts want proof of age and an admission/to go on record as being a wanker.
