Seems to me that smart phones make people into dumb asses...

There's a lot of truth in that one! Have you seen the video of that young girl on a flight who literally was melting down because her grandmother made her put her phone away before landing?

Seems to me we live in a world where losing your phone is more dramatic than losing your virginity.

Indeed...

i still have a "brick" phone because I don't need to be permanently connected to the internet or have access to a camera. Apparently there is now a device in which people can put their smart phones in a special "envelope" which hides the crap and only gives you access to making actual phone calls...can you believe that??!!

It's called having a "peace and serenity" break and rumour has it that brick phones are going to be making a return soon.

Seems to me that dinosaurs may not be quite extinct yet...

Me too Pulisa! I still have an old phone without any bells and whistles. The Nokia 8310's are small and still look great.

In my class, I rarely call parents anymore. My punishment is just to take away their phones. I rarely have any misbehaviors.

[pulisa]

I'm surprised you are allowed to do that these days...How do they cope?

[AntsyVee]

Not well, but they know that is the punishment. They and their parents sign my contract at the beginning of the year. I’m a benevolent dictator until you piss me off

[pulisa]

You sound awesome!! Anyone who can take on a young person armed with a smart phone and survive gets my respect!

I think they should be banned from school. They should be kept in a locker if they're 100% required for whatever reason. My 12 year old nephew has a smart phone and he's glued to it. I've tried to teach my kid those phones are bad and thankfully he understands and doesn't feel like he's missing out.

He got a Nokia N900 for Christmas. He loved mine. He uses it to write software on because it's basically a small laptop running Linux. Old phone, but one of the only phones that will increase in price while other phones lose value. He compiles applications using C on his phone. Little genius he is, but he isn't allowed to take it to school.
