sensible wummin...following my lead

I only look at tiktok when having a s*it.

Then I must be constipated because I have never used TikTok, Messenger or a host of other time-wasters.

Smartphones are not suitable for half or even quarter-wits but for the rest of us they are amazing.

Very true..

I do a crossword, i'm sure it's better for the soul.

Good lord why am I responding.... :(

Why are people stupid for having fragile mental health?

pinnerite expressed precisely :

Yep, but you need to be selective about their use. I don't use SM, only check the phone maybe a couple of times a day, or if it rings. I never walk with it in my hand - I rule it, not it me.

More fool you. It can be very useful when you are getting it to tell you where you need to go to find a particular shop etc after you have parked your car etc.

It has nothing to do with rule.

On the contrary all the people I see with smart phones clamped to their ears or with earbuds in look sub moronic.

we do ...

Some stuff doesn't get sold online and sometimes you need it right away and delivery isn't fast enough or you need to look at the item to decide if it is suitable.

Some get really radical and take something the new bit needs to fit to the store and find the part that fits there.

And some stuff needs to be picked up in person even if you have bought it online because delivery isn't good value.

And while one supermarket will deliver, they won't deliver

Then you would be walking from the public transport stop.

And plenty of stuff is bought using social media and picked up from their house or flat.

Not always suitable and that's true of stuff that isn't cheap to have delivered too.

Only a fool doesn't have a smartphone for those situations even if they aren't that common.

I go like a seagull so never have time to do anything ...

oooh that touched a sore spot

Smart phones are not smart at all they are basically pocket computers. I'm still not sure why we ended up with touch screens. OK for selecting stuff but a nightmare to enter data into. Brian

...the amazingly conned

And stupid people don't recognise rod speed.

hate touch screens speshly on the FT991A which I sold fast .....

That, is the only part of Smart I really hate..

Much easier if you use a stylus. I keep a pen with one on the end with me when I go out.
