It used to be Nokia, then it was the blackberry, then Motorola, then Samsung, now Iphones. It's all fad. Followers mindlessly doing what their peers are doing. What will it be in 5 years?
What causes this lemming behavior in people? What is the need to be like everyone else and have what they have?

Google does spy on you but that's fine
NO it's not fine, that information is with the deep state
Okay well I guess since I already invested all that time reading the thread just to only at the end realize it was necroed I will at least put in my two cents, which is to say... Why the hell are you nerds paying over $100 for goddamn phones? Seriously what the hell?
Oh also, this vid was made years ago but still hilariously relevant today and good for a laugh...
Someone gave me an Iphone as a gift. That's how I got one.

Clever marketing.
Invent something that no one necessarily needs and then convince everyone that they cannot live without it.
A bit like the wheel.

I have a years old Nokia (purchase price £9.99) that just does calls and texts, which cost's me £1 per week..
And I never ever us all my allowances.
I was in a restaurant with my wife yesterday and the younger couple at the next table spent most of their time when not eating, communicating with their respective devices rather than with each other.
Evolution maybe?

Careful, you're not supposed to be a conservative.

@ethang5
It's an age thing isn't it?
I think that there are ways of doing things.
And different ways of doing things, which I have personally been conditioned to find preferable.
This might or might not make me seem conservative or liberal depending upon the point of view of the observer.
I very occasionally find my Nokia a useful tool.
But the majority of the time it's where I left it.
