There, I said it! I'm so sick of the internet and cell phones! I'm tired tired tired tired tired tired tired tired of them both. Especially cell phones! I hate being reachable 24/7 by phone. I miss the days that, if a bitch wanted to talk to you, she had to wait for you to get home and then call!

I miss looking up phone numbers in a regular PAPER phone book. I've about had it with blackberrys too! And us 80's computer geeks once hoped that our technology would cure the world of homosexuality and then what happened? Apple Computer and then the Iphone!

We dreamed of a world free of rewinding videocassettes and what did we get? Digital Rights Management!!

My fucking Tivo is full! No more memory! Back in the old days I could just buy another god damn VHS tape! 2 dollars!

Really. Who gives a fuck about a Prius? Today we have hybrid cars, back then we had gasoline for $1.07.

It's time to cancel the internet. IT'S OVER! Shut it down NOW!

You don't really have to go back that far. You only have to go back to the early 90's. Few cell phones, people had beepers instead, so they could still be reached but ignore your calls, and internet access was, say, 14.4kbps. You don't have to shut it down, just slow it down. :lol:

Youtube and Eros I can live without...but Amazon is pretty important...and search engines like Google are now very, very necessary.

I ain't afraid of getting old. I will carry my stories of the pre-internet days until I die. And I'll tell my kids that trannies existed even before the internet.

really? the phone company stopped printing yellow ages.
companies don't have live people in customer service anymore. a recorded message directs you to their website for assistance.

Actually, I agree!!! The internet is way more fuckin' trouble than it's worth, IMHO. In the not too distant future, I will be casting it aside. Look at what the internet has done to the newspaper industry...I don't consider that progress. It is a melting pot of identity theft, cowardly comments and FAT KIDS.

Look at what it's done to a man's right to privacy and the bitches that keep call his cell phone!

I can't believe this post is coming from someone who claimed to be a computer geek from the 80's. My first computer was a Commodore 64, and while I could do without half the conveniences a cell phone or computer provide today, I don't think there's anything wrong with the way technology has progressed.

I don't blame technology for all the social retards who can't hold down a conversation outside of a text message or an email. In other words, it's not convenient technology that I blame, it's the people who exploit convenient technology as a way to duck around actually face-to-face conversation or simple daily tasks.

I don't answer it, but that doesn't stop these bitches from asking me, NAGGING ME about why I don't answer my phone.

Believe me, they don't like it when I say "Because I didn't feel like".

I've used every excuse in the book-

My battery was dead

I didn't have coverage in the area

I dropped the phone under my seat

A cop was in the next lane

The send button is broken

I did answer, don't you remember?

I was at a funeral

I was at church

I was eating

I'm conserving energy

You name the excuse, I've used it and I still get nagged at.

The world is so different with the internet and technology as a whole, some ways better and many ways worse. People don’t meet in person anymore, they communicate on facebook or other social sites. People have online friends, I believe unless you know someone face to face than you are not friends. People don’t call instead they text. You don’t see kids out playing kickball or riding bikes like I did when I was a kid, now they are all inside on the computer or playing some kind of video game, that’s why child obesity is at an all time high. I like the internet for shopping; I shop like crazy and will admit I have a compulsion to buy, and when I can’t find anything to buy then I start buying future birthday or xmas presents lol. Also Eros, I love Eros it makes escorting easy, if I had to walk some kind of stroll out in the cold or rain I would be doing some other line of work. I remember the days when people had pagers, and when I got pager in high school I thought I was the shit lol times have changed; now I have 3 cell phones lol.
