It's official, you're all robots

my generation sucks and is destroying the world

 

One dumbass YOLO at a time.

 

I bet there's some illuminati fucker that loves his job making 600,000 a year...best part of his day is when he's watching you in the restroom through your phones camera...

Alright, im going to sleep..theyre probably reading his now, looking for keywords such as bomb...and have a drone over me to take sure im not onto something sneaky...enough, i need rest.

 

Tsk, Thats a go ahead on the drone, We got reports of this suspect making bombs and cutting large amounts of cocaine with PCP. Could be a possible terrorist. Permission to eliminate.

 

Suicide is never better then being murdered.

 

Thats a negative, it appears to he another yolo on his iphone. Gpa of 2.0, arrested 6 times for trespassing and public intoxication. Abort, no threat here.

 

There's an app you can get to track how where and when you shit. So apple knows.

 

Nice to see you woke up....It's been like this for a few years boss. I love it when one of my Jr Engineers sits in a meeting more focused on the techno drug then on the meeting. And yes they get an earful from me after.

 

I use the pump time to wash and squeegee my windshield phone stays in my pocket.

 

I agree that technology has made it quicker to communicate with people through text messaging and e-mails but the quality and effectiveness of communication has diminished greatly. People would rather fire off a dozen e-mails back and forth vs. picking up the phone or meeting face to face and actually resolving an issue. And, of course, these e-mails usually have 10+ recipients so everyone and their brother has to see this back and forth and, before you know it, a tiny issue that could have been resolved in 5 minutes of face time gets blown up into a huge issue with 10 people blindly responding, not all of which even fully understanding the root issue. So while the communication has gotten faster, I think it's slowed us down overall.

Oh, and while we're on tech pet peeves, every time I see a professional e-mail with a smiley or LOL, it makes me want to drive over to that person's office and slap the shit out of them. Emoticons do not belong in professional correspondence!

 

OMG I know right? Or even better on a resume? Just had one the other day, and the funny thing was the HR manager thought it was cute. "sigh"

 

This.


I don't care for the phone much; face to face is my preferred method. But not always an option.

Emails are good for quick questions and answers, and for "getting things in writing." All too often these days, people "forget" the phone calls they had.

 

Guilty... But I'm only updating my odometer readings for Fuelly. I hate my phone when I'm driving. Driving is "me" time.

I almost shit when I got my first emoticon in an Army email from a .mil sender.

 

Wow... if I saw that on a resume, I wouldn't even bother to keep reading, it'd go straight in the trash.

So far, the best I've seen on resume was from an intern that worked for us, applying back for a full time job. The intern listed us as a reference and as past experience but had our company's name wrong

 

well, yes, however, with the HR folks screening them before they get to me the Emoticons should have never made to my desk. An interview would have been Hilarius...

 

If there is a good thing about people glued to their phones is that thanks to texting we don't have to hear them talk all day.

The thing that irks me the most is people that text and drive. I look through my review mirror nervously as I see them punch the buttons on their phone. I would like to mod my truck so that I have a speaker in the bed that with the click of a button yells, "Get off your phone, you (rhymes with hunt)!!!"

 

They got your fingerprint when you got your driver license.

 

They did? I don't recall ever doing that.

 

They do in California.

 

I'm still using this kind of phone. (Internetz pic, of course.)
The most I really do with my phone is keep in contact with lawn customers. Touch screen phones weird me out. I don't know what to do with them. They confuse the hell out of me. I'm fine with my old mickey mouse lookin phone. And don't get me started on computers. If it's beyond Windows 2000 or XP, hell if I know anything about it.
I don't want a smart phone anyways. From what I understand, they are more trouble than they are worth. No battery life, always crashing, easy breaking, etc. Plus, I just think it makes it easier for THEM to track you down. I'll keep my old phone with its week-long minimum battery life.
