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.

I've had my left hand removed and it's now just an iPhone with fingers and a thumb attached to my wrist.

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.

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...

The irony isn't lost on me

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. Or at least a session musician! :-)

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.

The irony isn't lost on me

 You beat me to it but would've also gone to the trouble of making it bold too 

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.

You've obviously never shared a post that won you a Winnebago. One day, I'll go to Nigeria and pick it up too.

I'll chip in your airfare if you reckon' you can drive it back, sell it and give me a cut...PM me your bank details and I'll deposit the cash, oh aye, your bank might text you a number - I'll need this to make the deposit, you'll have to PM me that too.

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....

Not good

Do families actually sit down around the dining table and have a proper conversation these days without a pesky mobile phone being used? I bet not many, a pretty sad state of affairs imo.

Count me in

 

Think its why my neck aches

 

Constantly leaning forward

We have an all appliance ban at tea time. No iPads or phones.

 

Obviously that's after I've take a picture of my meal and posted on what's app and tweeted it to Paddy Mcguiness

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.

 

 

I'd be fucking lost without it

Nah. I don't have a fancy phone.

Every night .. and if they ring they get left 'til after.

 

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!

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).

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.

Do your pornos feature women in cardigans having their fannies smothered in gluten free almond yoghurt Kent?

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.

I reckon I'm a 2 gig a day man! :-)

No but now you say it - that sounds like a niche I haven't explored. Have you got a link? :-)
