peter gabriel posted:I don't think that though Yeah, I know that that's true, the adjustment thing- I just never believe it, no matter how many times I've been through it in the past, until it happens. I think part of it is also that- and this is going off on somewhat of a tangent- I have a (admittedly irrational) predisposition against smartphones just because of what socially acceptable cell phone ettiquette has become, and I know it was true even when people just had flip phones but I didn't notice it so much then. Nothing quite like going out to meet up with a friend you're excited to catch up with who you haven't seen in ages, only for them to plop their phone down on the table the minute you sit down together and pay more attention to people they're texting, checking facebook/instagram etc, than actually interacting with you. Dude if you'd rather talk to people who aren't me, don't waste my time by agreeing to meet up in person.  I guess part of me is afraid I'll become one of those people. I don't *think* I will, since I think I would have already been doing that with the phone I have now if I had that potential. The ability to just leave your phone in your pocket has no correlation with how powerful the phone is, but with how powerful your will is. Again, I know this is all irrational, but that's the immediate association that comes to mind.

I have no idea what the name of our first "family" cell phone was, I'll have to ask; all I know is we had a house phone and a cell phone for when we all went out together. We would have got this in like 1999-2000. At some point the 5 key fell off so if you needed to dial anything with that number you had to hope one of your fingernails was long enough to reach into the contact area- my sister and I, being children, were beneficial for this activity as our fingers were small enough to just reach to the contact, fingernail or no  The phone didn't have text capability so that wans't a problem. I used to steal the family cell phone, hide somehwere in the house, and prank call our own house, with the cell phone. A true American badass, I was

AFAIAA it's like a sturdier/more fabricky-clothy paper than just stuff coming out of the printer so it probably has some structural soundness but yeah, like picture it starts raining on you and the dress just disintegrates like the bad generic brand paper towel in a Bounty commercial
