I Do Not Like Using The Phone

I don’t like phones so I don’t have a smart phone like my friends do.

I just have a old Nokia and it gets the job done.

it has snake too.

The only mobile device I carry is an old cell. No camera. No apps. No games. Nothing except texting and calling. In other words, I own a PHONE, not a touch tablet made for Micronauts.


Besides, I've noticed something. Touch screens only acknowledge my existence about half the time, no matter how hard I try...

@GwydionFrost Smart phones cross the line of what a phone should do.

@Toasty Being a phone is the LEAST of their capabilities. ;)

Omg, used to have an old phone like that when I was 10? I think? And played snake a lot on it. That is such a good idea since I am bothered how much time I spent on my smartphone. Used to chat a lot with friends and when we stopped talking I constantly caught myself checking if I get messages. It is truly addictive, just like a drug I hate it.

@SW-User Its a good idea, I didn't want a phone at all until I reached college. That's when I needed one, I got mine for free from a friend because people don't want these type of phones much anymore.

Saved money that way.

Yep, smartphones are pretty expensive nowadays and they don't last long enough anyways. My mother has an old samsung smartphone... Must be 5 or 6 years old now? And its capabilities have been reduced over time to the ones of a cellphone.

True, but smartphones are more like pocket computers than phones anyway, so they do a lot more that phones never did previously.

@sometimeslonelytoo Yeah, people become addicted to them, I see it at college.

This is very true.

Same. You can't do as much on them as a computer, they are insecure devices prone to glitching, and they pretty much offer nothing in the way of freedom. Even macs have more "freedom" than mobile phones lol.

I actually wouldn't mind having a dumb phone. Less tracking features, less bloat. For now I just keep a cheap android phone around and only use it for basic things.
