I Am Concerned About the Economy

Before you go attacking me for spouting negativity, let me frame this by saying..This is how I de-stress.This is my release gauge ok? I need to rant to get this off my chest before it eats away at me.

We as Americans have been forced to become slaves to technology, and it angers me greatly.
Our corporations have seen fit to completely rearrange our lives so that we literally cannot survive without our tech. They have crippled us to being entirely dependant on it.
Not only that, look at how much the expensense of tech has gone up and just keeps going up. I wish there was a way we could fight back and say "We dont have to have technology to control our lives, we would rather be in control of them ourselves.""

Right on. And you don't to apologize for a rant here brother. That's what it's for.

Here's the deal. You CAN do something about technology. Some things like banking and purchasing are going to be difficult. But with the other forms of technology and all it represents? That's easy.

Don't use it.
At my job now we have to clock in using our phones. In my head I'm like... damn what if I can't afford my phone anymore, I'm screwed? Everyone acts as if oh *sigh* you are such a burden when you aren't the puppet everyone is.

@Selfexpression Exactly! this is some total bullshit. Forcing every american citizen to cling to cell phone tech. Forcing every citizen to pay yet another monthly bill. I wish people had the balls to say "no I don't own a god damn smart phone, because I don't want another bill."

Start with your phone. You need to receive and send a call, have voice mail. GET RID OF THE REST OF THE BULL SHIT ON THERE.

You nailed it. In my opinion, that would change SO many lives for the better.

Agreed, which is why I haven't been using a smartphone.

I guess we could always just go outside.
