broken phone

Good thing it’s not mlp porn! Hopefully Im not wrong!

I don't know what's more disturbing, porn based on cartoon ponies, or that you're into that sort of thing. lol

but you're not addicted or anything, right?

sorry to hear that. there are ways to free yourself if you choose, just like any addiction. getting support is the first step. :)

I get why someone in your state of life right now would get into that sort of thing. But you might think of trying to step away sooner than later since it won't really get any easier to do it once you're in a relationship and studies have shown they often hinder people from getting into meaningful relationships to start with. just a thought.

my phone bounced off the floor one to many times on Sunday. It's broken beyond repair and I can't recover my stuff so I miss the gazzilions of pictures of my kids the most.

no I don't entrust my family photos to any 3rd party platform, (never post to facebook, or save on a cloud) I back up to my laptop occasionally. I actually had quite a few saved to my micro SD card so it's not so bad.

I do! so I got that going for me which is nice :)

I bet! it's kinda sad in a way how dependent we have become on electronics for work or school.In my final year of college I lost my flash drive that had pretty much all my reports and projects on it. I think I cried for 3 days straight and had to go to each of my professors and explain why I didn't have said projects ready. Pretty much had to start from scratch on most of my work so after that point I was impulsively saving just about every word I typed to 3 different places, lol

I would hand it into IT and have a new one in an hour.

are you saying that's as long as you'll last without one? I'm going on 3 days now without a smartphone. But I am cheating a little and figured out how to check imgflip and facebook on the flip phone, lol

My phone belongs to work. Anything happens to it I get a replacement usually in about an hour.

Hmm...A lot of things, maybe even school work on Google Classroom.

I have had my phone by my side for the past three and a half years! Now it is literally broken right now, I can't use it! I am actually kind of nuts about it right now. I mostly miss my music and pictures!

crazy how much we depend on the things. I always wonder how people survived in the stone ages before cell phones when they had to pull out paper maps and actually call people on land lines or gasp, write a letter!

Post stone ages we've entered the dark ages ; )

I miss the stone ages.

me too Hope! I actually never owned a smart phone until I got married 6 years ago. And I think I was better off before it. Using the flip phone and seeing how much time I have been wasting has been an eye opener for me. I'm organizing my whole house, lol. Kids are happier too I'm not behind a screen all the time. I'm seriously considering not going back.

Sounds like a good move. Might try it.
Currently off FB, Twitter, and about to cancel Instagram, b/c I never really followed it anyway...so a flip phone would work.
Side not
We went from a microwave society to a microwave society on crack with a side of narcissistic picture posting. And I was 110% guilty... so I'm not so much as judging ..just a recovering addict ; )

*Side note

I'd miss the $600 it cost to replace it.

Luckily I'm not under a contract so just need to get a new phone, I'm an android girl, so $200-300 covers me :)

I'm a software developer, so I kinda need something powerful. I use android too.

are you saying android is a weakling? lol My husband wants me to get an iPhone but I can't stand them.

No, I said I use android - but as a software developer I need something on the more expensive end. I'm looking at upgrading to the latest Google Pixel device, which is around $600

The only reason I have any apple devices is because I have to use them for testing.... Otherwise they sit on the shelf collecting dust.

ah, gotcha I though you were using android as a personal device and iphone for work.

Nah, I can't stand apple stuff....their device restrictions make me want to pull out my hair. The last time I released an IOS app, they held it up for months trying to extort more money out of me....for an app I was releasing for free!

Nothing, because I don't have a phone. ;-;

nothing, i hate it
