no, that would be IQfy
Humans were a mistake
God was the worst invention in human history.
Speak for yourself. Was blessed not to be cursed like picrel with tradingview mobile.
So phones are based so you can gamble more obscurely, got it. You fell for one of the classic blunders and actually proved OP right.
>can't lose if you copy based tradoors and have you're own risk management system
Nice try, demoralizer anon.
Smartphones are great. It was a mindblowing fantasy beyond my wildest dreams to have such a powerful computer in such a format when I was a kid. Dumb people and social media are the problem.
I kind of like this model. Has internet access but it isn't the focus.
No?
Smartphones are a decent way of doing basic, menial shit on the go; the locking down, the technical illiteracy crisis, the altered nature of the internet and the cultural moronation are separate problems or side-effects, which you typically don't blame the invention itself for causing
>yeah bro I love being distracted all day and be expected to stay in touch 24/7
I don't have socialshittery or notifications to be distracted with. My average phone usage consists of playing Soundcloud jap music on my walks to campus, watching the occasional video while waiting for lunch, reading doujinshi off my server, and streaming in ASMR on a lower-light display before I go to sleep, all of which is better than pulling out my laptop in the same situations.
Granted, I would never do MOST things on my phone, and what I'd really be in love with is an advanced e-ink reader.
>be expected to stay in touch 24/7
I feel this sometimes with family, but if I don't feel like answering I just don't unless I get multiple rings in a row
>being distracted all day
just put down your phone
>be expected to stay in touch 24/7
just turn on dnd
this sounds like a you issue
>Was this the worst invention of the century?
funny story: in 2006 i was infatuated with older e-zines and seeing how "inefficient" was opening browser waiting to load shit i thought to myself "wouldn't it be cool if content layout didn't change and instead was loaded as a binary package with everything you need. wouldn't it be also cool if ALL content be delivered in such way?"
fast forward to 2012 and 1/3rd of sited ask to download their shitty app
I hate them and they were a mistake that has heavely contributed to the downfall of society. I'd be lying if I said that it hasn't made my life a lot easier and more convenient in many ways though, and I really love my smartphone.
Yes, we should've normalized handheld PCs instead.
Also normalized:
>IrDa
>Optical disc drives
>Ad hoc communications
>RFID
>Am/Fm
>MicroSD
>Ethernet ports
And that's just to start
portable technology capable of connecting to the internet was an awful idea. It was a big step closer to merging fake reality and real reality. I'm all for the internet, but I like having them separate. The internet should be the way it was in the 90s. You had to be at your desk in a house or something and that was it. Convenience in tech is certain death of the human race
I embraced them early on and it was a bit like a gimmick at first. As the world embraced them it became more of a useful tool for me. Whining about them is for special snowflake morons who spend all their time worrying about what other people are doing. Oh no the tik toks and the instagrams. I don't use that shit on my phone so why should I get worked up about it? Because it's popular? I'm happy I can listen to internet radio streams on long bus rides and get a car to take me where I need to go when I arrive in the city. I can search any information I need when I need it. It's a useful tool that I'm able to handle responsibly. It doesn't control my life. If anything my compulsive use of the internet was worse before smartphones when I had to sit at the desktop computer in my family's living room or later my laptop in my bedroom to access it.
Yes, looking at the result nowadays. Apple didn't expext it though.
I suppose ultra-easier mobile access to SNS/YouTube affects even average IQ/EQ and the birth rate of humanity.
