It starts with an alarm...I'm not so happy about that on work days although I'm mostly awake before my alarm anyway; but if it's an alarm waking me up for something cool I have planned I'm happy. I grab my phone and check my blood sugar and calculate what injections I'll need via and app on my phone...it's smart like that.
My phone never goes more than eight metres from me so it's able to remain connected to my implant sensor/transmitter and that means my phone gets to make breakfast with me...actually the fucken thing doesn't do any of the work at all. We sit down, drink coffee and eat breakfast (my phone doesn't eat much at all) and then I send it off to do the washing up. Not really, that lazy fucker doesn't do that either.
I don't do "social media" because it's shit and invasive on a person's life (and not social at all) so my phone provides information on what I am interested in like the Formula One via the F1 App and other stuff. I may take a look on Hive now and then but it's not a regular thing across the course of my day. So, no sitting there on an endless "social media feed" because that shit is for wankers.
If it's a work day my phone goes into my pocket, usually a back pocket. I'm not sure if the phone likes being so close to my left butt cheek but it's never complained. If it's a non-work day my phone goes shooting, four wheel driving, bike riding, hiking and other such activities.
If I'm on my bike it's mounted to my Quad Lock and in my car as well, and sometimes I put it in my 5.11 sling pack...it has to stay within eight metres of me as I said. No, it doesn't get separation anxiety (and neither do I), it has to be able to receive data from my implanted sensor - my life depends on it.
Now and then the phone rings...and if I don't know the number I never answer; ever. People sometimes complain, but my phone is for my convenience, not theirs.
Actually, it doesn't ring at all because I usually have it on silent, it vibrates - the alarms required for my sensor override the silent option. Now and then WhatsApp, Threema and a couple other communication apps I use to stay in contact with various people cause it to vibrate. Mostly, the phone just sits in my pocket or on my desk or nestled within its Quad Lock and is generally ignored. I've never heard it complain about the neglect either, inanimate objects often don't.
My phone often helps me do general day to day things like banking and investment (I run behind a VPN and have as much security as is possible including a fucken legit karate chop) and I use navigation especially when I'm travelling for work and driving in places I'm not familiar with. I take photos now and then, most of my posts include photos taken on the phone and well...that's about all my phone does. Oh, I use it for the WIFI and BT functionality a lot when away working because I have my laptop and prefer not to trust public connections...this is one of the best uses my phone has.
Anyway, in the evening my phone makes dinner, has dessert, does the washing up, takes a bath and goes to bed. And if you believe that you're a fucken dumbass. My phone sits around somewhere nearby to me while I live my life off my phone and then I stick a plug up it's fucken ass (the power cable) and charge it for the next day.
I'm not beholden to my phone in any way other than that it provides a necessary link to my implanted sensor and that life in a first-world country makes it virtually impossible to not have one. So, I guess I'm somewhat beholden to it after all.
People get so attached to their phone and everything about society leans people that way. Thanks "social media" you cunt.
Now, people use phones to ask AI if a particular thing suits them or if this matches that or any number of other dumbass things people should be working out for themselves. They carry their "brain" in their hands rather than using the one evolution has given them. Idiots.
For me, the phone is a tool and nothing more.
I'd actually rather not have one but it's not a possibility. Actually, I'd rather the power went out for the next hundred years (starting right fucken now) as I think humanity needs a reset, but that's unlikely. That's not going to happen unless, possibly, you live in some underdeveloped shitty country that invests nothing into the power grid and infrastructure...but I bet if you do, you have a fucken phone still right?
Are you beholden to your phone, a slave to it and the AI fuckassery it provides?
