Cell phone rant

Got a reply to my post below about the bale buster saying to send the video's from my phone to my email. While I appreciate the advice, and it just might work if I could do it, it really just got me to thinking. I've got about the least gizmo infested phone they make to fit my needs and I like it that way. The fact it does have photo and video capability is more a matter of 'that's what was available' more so than being what I wanted. Didn't have it for years and years, got by just fine without it, and would still be getting by without it if need be. They do make other devices to take better pics and video if I wanted to use them. That said, true it's handy at times, but way, way too prone to misuse by way too many people. Problem is everyone elses misuse tends to bleed over onto everyone else with the same phone capabilities. I've got to say the handiest thing on my phone right now is a LED light. Said for years that as much crap as there was on my old phone (was about 10 years old) that it looked like they could have at least put a light on it too. At least the designers were thinking a little bit about an actual useful function and not so much about fluff.....

Anyways, the way I see it, in my business, if someone is broke down and needs my services, I actually need to talk to them. Everyone I see with all of the bells and whistles (ie APPS)on their phones tend to waste more time playing games, and swapping BS email jokes, etc, etc than they do anything else. Heck even the texting deal turns into 5 minutes here, and 5 minutes there answering little one line texts where someone is trying to keep you up to the second on everything thats happening. Ninety nine percent of the time 'what's happening' is not that important, and can wait until nineyt nine percent of it happens before being relayed to you that it did in fact happen.....not a detailed account of it's going to happen, it's happening, it's happened and over........Thing is over the course of a day all that texting time adds up in a hurry. Personally I don't have time, and money to waste, dealing with everyone elses BS on a PHONE I use mainly for business. If something is so important that I need to know about it RIGHT NOW, call me. Heck I just might have important questions myself about the situation that I can ask, or imput that might be vital about the situation that also needs to be shared...without trying to type them in on a minature keypad with my hands covered in grease.

Can't remember where I heard it, but I heard a joke awhile back to the effect that Alexander Grahm Bell saw one of the newer phones with the keypads, etc on them and said, 'You know, one of these days they'll probably have one of those things where you can actually talk to each other on them....' Just goes to the fact of how far we actually came, and have now started to regress. With the phone we called and talked, with the advent of everything else now companies are more worried about having an APP for everything under the sun than they are about anything else. Sad when being able to play a stupid game on your phone is more important than many other things that really do matter........
