Here's what a phone is: It's a computer that has a little app on it that allows me to dial numbers and then talk to someone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to have a phone machine that you turn 'on' and 'off,' which was great. Now, it's so technological that it's like going down the rabbit hole.
The mobile phone... is a tool for those whose professions require a fast response, such as doctors or plumbers.
A smartphone is a mobile computer in your pocket.
Texting is a lot like an answering machine. If you don't want to talk to somebody, it's like screening your calls. To me, it's a way of communication, but not one that I favor.
I have a cell phone that doesn't behave like a phone: It behaves like a computer that makes calls. Computers are becoming an integral part of daily life. And if people don't start designing them to be more user-friendly, then an even larger part of the population is going to be left out of even more stuff.
I don't have a telephone. If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't have one.
Think about it. If it's taking pictures, it's not a cellphone. If it has a McDonald's app to tell you where McDonald's is based on your GPS location, that's not a cellphone. If you can get Wikipedia or go to Google, that's not a cellphone.
I see people putting text messages on the phone or computer and I think, 'Why don't you just call?'
I never was for telephones. Just don't like them, that's all. Anybody wants to talk to you, they can come to see you.
And when your phone rings, pick it up. Open yourself up to the possibility a phone call offers. Discover this remarkable device called the telephone. It will give you a serious competitive advantage.
