I switch of my phone every evening after 20:00 hrs. Nobody has to disturb me except my moms house is on fire. My landline number is known around relatives etc. I never answered or reacted that late on the same day. Its my fucking free time, nothing can be so important i have to give up that personal time. Unluckily i have to use my own personal phone for my job. I receive emails and texts when my teamleader is working late. Thats annoying. A couple of years ago my company handed me a work cell phone, but those days are long gone. When i commute to work, early in the morning, i look outside the window of the tram, look at the sun rising or whats going on on the streets. The entire wagon is just staring on senseless Whatsapps, texts or videos. I dont get why the people dont wanna be bothered that early in the morning and making them ready for work or just enjoy a beautiful sunrise. You cant make friends with them anymore, they dont look around, dont start chatting with the person next to them. Zombies they are. If all those people would hold a bottle of beer and sip on it frequently, we would call them alcoholics and addicts. And those people are addicts, needing treatment. Urgently. But the common reception of phone users is that they are in touch with someone and the social tradegy is hidden behind the manner of use of such devices. One does not see if the user is watching stupid videos or is caught in a bubble. But holding a bottle of beer will bring the people to contempting the blue collar worker after a long working day, talking to real people, earning his wage and returning to his real existing family that evening. What i ask myself the entire time is, how are kids raised by parents working for or owning cellphone providers and manufacturers? What do such people tell their kids how or not to use social media? Do they raise them ascetic when it comes to gadgets? Tell them: Daddy is going to work, selling stuff for stupid people?
