Could you Would you.

So apparently theirs a competition to win $100000 to those who wont touch a smartphone for 1 year.

Why haven't I heard about this pre comp start? Damn it.

So - Could you/would you ?
It's a great prize for a years online solidarity.

Interesting topic i thought nevertheless, are people addicted or is it just a necessity nowadays?

I think in all reality it's a necessity in a modern world.

I would have loved to enter, talk about easy money.

#ME TOO.

Suppose you would have needed a cell phone to find out about it!!

I'll give you a call later, make sure you pick up your Princess Phone.

We can still communicate through post. I've heard it moves much more quickly these days due to the motorized vehicle!

Thought I was the last one left, lol.

It would be a little bit difficult to make or receive phone calls that way.

I think the social media generation have forgotten what phone calls are anyway, so.. meh lol

I can imagine it in the not so distant future, little billy looks up to his 3 mothers and asks "Mommies, why is it called a phone?" and they all stare blankly at him..

I'd have to go back to my ol' MP3 player if I gave mine up.

Hell no...how would I participate on ATS at work!

Let me know when you've discovered the telegraph.

a reply to: CthruU

Absolutely..


Hell I would do that every year as a job..

As a flip phone user, these sorts of things simply look pathetic.

a reply to: CthruU

Yes, and YES!! DAMMIT!!!

I hate cellular phones! IMHO they are the worst scourge spawned upon mankind in the history of, well, everything!

And the latest infringement on my patience is the smart watch. I'll be sitting in a meeting and every 5 seconds people are looking at their wrist. Drives me crazy! One of these days I'm gonna' yank one of those things off someone's wrist and smash it with a friggin' hammer!!

I only communicate in smoke signals so bring it on!

You strike me as a person who might employ carrier pigeons

Joking... kind of, but meant as a compliment.

Ahhh....so you blow smoke.
It all makes sense now!

Awesome, lol. I'm definitely the kind of person who would take that as a compliment!

You mean give up *ack social media, and have to * cough totally interact with * gag..real people, offline ?
OMG the horror.
No.
I used to think I'd be fine in one of those off grid cabins for a year with no social media, till the hurricane knocked out power for 3 days.

you Monster. How much will you contribute to the carbon poisoning of the world, leaving us even less time to build an ark, before you realise just how evil and bad you are.

I use vape signals myself.

I'm eco frandly.
