Is it bad if I have a habit that I always check out men by looking at their ring finger?

@SW-User Unfortunately, I don't have a phone.

@SW-User You don't have a phone? :o How do you survive?

@SW-User I survive by communicating. :)

@SW-User lol I wish i could do that. I have to have a phone so my boss can text me about shift changes, so the airline can message me about delays and so i can sit on the plane and check the surf report for the day. Then there's google maps to help me avoid tolls and traffic jams, and most of all, my phone holds my entire music collection so whenever i step into my car, it uses blutooth to connect to the sound system and play my play lists. Strangely though, nobody ever actually calls me on it and ... you know talks 🤔

@SW-User Honestly, I like your sarcasm. :)

Of course, there are many benefits of the technology that plays a major part in our life nowadays. And we can't just figure out the solution by talking. We have to do something. I totally get it. But I can't escape the fact that I don't have a phone and I can only rely on my mouth to help me deal with everyday stuff. I own a laptop, so there is nothing much I have to worried about. Except for the problem that when I need to call someone, I don't have a phone. My solution for that case is to ask somebody and borrow their phone. If I was alone and no one around, well, guess I have to deal with it by myself.

A phone is not all about an iPhone, you know. It can be any types of phone. Mobile phone, for example! Except that it cannot have an app to scan people.

@SW-User Hey thanks! :) I think sarcasm comes so naturally to me i don't even know i have done it until someone points it out or i inadvertently offend someone.

You are right though with what you've said. When the first mobile/cell phones were invented i avoided them as long as i could. Being called to talk when i'm driving or walking down the street or in a restaurant is something i really dislike and pretty much won't do anyway. My phone to me is not really a phone, it's more like a personal organiser with a GPS built in. I love those aspects but when it comes to actual calls, i could easily do what you do and not have a phone. I think the last time i made an actual voice call was over a year ago.

I was thinking about apps to scan people too. Mine actually takes my pulse so that kind of scans. I'm sure in another 50 years they'll do blood tests and other crazy things 😂

@SW-User Well, I'm glad that technology helps us to solve many problems that we hardly solve in the past.

Another 50 years, I would be so old, and so are you. Or perhaps we will pass away before seeing the future. We will miss out on many exciting things.

@SW-User This is true! I would like to see maybe 200 years into the future. I'd like to see how our societies have gone transitioning to renewable energy, especially with cars. Actually a car is something i'd be happy to go without too.

@SW-User Or maybe a society full of robots.

@SW-User Actually yes, i have just been reading about the potential risks to society when robots become fully autonomous. So that would be an interesting thing to see in the future... how they develop.

@SW-User It's funny that at first, humans create robots and it wants to eliminate humans. But later, it realizes that it needs humans, and so it creates humans.

@SW-User That sounds like it would make an interesting movie or book. Did you see the movie Ex Machina?

@SW-User Yes, I love it! The details in the movie were excellent. Some contexts that I find pretty sensual and sexual, which makes this movie even more exciting! Well, I was waiting to see some sexual intimacy between them, but it did not happen as I expected.

I was so shocked at the end, though. That robot is super good at acting and deceiving that guy. At first, I dislike the owner/creator, but at the end, I felt bad for him.

I don't like an unhappy ending.

@SW-User Yes, same feelings for me and i loved the movie. The robot was played by Alicia Vikander who has been in many great movies including the recent remake of Tomb Raider where she was Lara Croft.

@SW-User Yes, she received her Oscar for supporting role in 2017. I've watched Tomb Raider, it was great. She looks badass as hell.

I realized that movies nowadays start to focus more on making action/heroes movie, and even repeats many parts of it. It becomes popular. I think many film producers and filmmakers begin to lose their ideas, so they choose to make one movie over and over again. It's like "excess food has left in the refrigerator and heat up to continue to eat."

@SW-User Yes, i think there aren't a lot of original ideas for some movie makers. They seem to just try to cash in on what has already worked.

There's a new Sci Fi / horror called A Quiet Place. Amazing movie. For the first half of the movie there was literally no sound at all. The guy who wrote and directed it also acted in it with his wife. It's a clever new concept. Love movies like that.
