AlphaKretin posted:How many people are actually addicted to using phones compared to people who just check their phone a lot because they're become pretty drat important things since the baby boomer era? Which means this device is completely useless and designed by someone who doesn't understand the problem.

Collateral Damage posted:I don't think people are addicted to using the phone per se, they're addicted to the information flow. They feel a compulsive need to stay on top of messages, facebook updates, twitter feeds, etc. Yeah, this. A phone-shaped slab with "things" you can touch doesn't address the issue at all. It'd be closer if it somehow had an analogue to notifications that you can clear away. But to do that... well it'd pretty much have to be a phone of some sort, so...

The Bloop posted:Judging by the number of people who can't sit through a meal, let alone a movie, without constantly checking their drat phone, I think there's a problem out there. I’m sitting in that weird position where I spent my entire childhood without a smartphone and didn’t get one until I reached adulthood, so I didn’t grow up with it but I’ve had one for more of my adulthood than not. You know what I did when I didn’t have a smartphone? I carried a book and read it when I had nothing else to do. If I didn’t have one, I would probably be incredibly bored and have no more interest in making random small talk with people or staring at the environment than I already do. If I have my phone out while eating, it’s because I can’t think of anything to talk about and I would otherwise just be eating in silence. Now that I have a smartphone, I can spend almost all of my downtime doing something. I keep up with my friends, stay on top of the news, read books and comics, do research, etc. I always have something that I’m doing instead of remaining static. What’s so wrong about that?

Maybe nothing. I was the same re: book and smartphone. Eating alone or on break at work or whatever? Read away. I'm talking about eating a meal with friends, family, spouse etc not randos

I'm talking about eating a meal with friends, family, spouse etc not randos Even when I’m at meals with them, I use my phone when I have nothing to talk about. Sometimes I use the things I pull up on social media or the Internet to have new things to talk about, but I wouldn’t be talking more if I didn’t have it. We tried that a few times, putting our phones away or in the center of the table for a whole meal. All that ends up happening is people sitting and eating in silence exactly as much as before, just without a scapegoat to blame.

chitoryu12 posted:Or we could just...not talk? There's always something to talk about. If you can't hold a simple conversation with somebody then you're devastatingly boring or awkward. Pro Tip: People like talking about themselves, ask a question that can't be answered with a "yes" or "no." They taught me this in like 2nd grade, so I'm glad I can pass this knowledge onto, who I can only assume, is a grown adult.
