What's the cool cell phone to own now?

Basically they are becoming expensive (and disposable) time-wasters. All we are doing is buying into the commercial rhetoric that we NEED these fucking things to function in our daily lives when really we don't. All we're now doing is driving a previously monopolized section of the market (telephone services).

Fuck... we're all zombies.

Also, don't you notice people never interact with each other anymore. When I was growing up we didn't have all the gadgets to remove ourselves from our environment. When I got on a train or went to a public area, strangers might actually talk to each other out of boredom.

Now it's like, Ipod in the ears, cellphone on the ready, some wireless connection so they can "lol" with cyber strangers. It just seems like we're always disconnected from reality and living in some electronic medium now.

Eeek, we're becoming part of the matrix.
