There may be no scientific evidence to support the link between increasing cell phone functionality with decreasing intelligence, however the amount of common sense leaving the brain and manifesting itself on digital screens is indisputable. From apps to answer life’s most trivial questions to the simple amount of time people spend staring down at their do-it-all device, smarter and smarter phones may ultimately stunt mental growth. After all, if your pocket dwelling phenomenon handles quandaries both big and small, what use are brains altogether, aside from controlling basic bodily functions such as respiration and circulation?While phones have yet to replace the brain’s unconscious control over the body, they have apparently already overridden our most primitive forms of learned movement. As the “Distracted Driving” debate rages on, with people unable to balance basic car-wielding skills against the ability to talk, text and surf the web, perhaps an even more overwhelmingly failure to multitask is developing in city streets worldwide. According to a New York Times article, “Distracted Walking” has emerged as a serious threat to pedestrians, unable to put one foot in front of the other without losing focus. Somehow, despite over a full decade’s worth of practice for even the youngest cell phone users out there, too many smart phone junkies can’t look left and right before looking down to check their mail, messages, what-have-you.

Cell phones were designed in order to increase your social life activity and make you more accessible on the move, yet some people have actually managed to turn the trend so that less people desire to talk to them. Though this defies basic logic, it is indeed possible. Consider these trends that left thousands of unfortunate early adopters and creatures of bad habit with the sad realization that their mobile device isn’t nearly as much fun when you have no friends left to talk to.

1. Blue-tooth headsets They’ve been mercilessly mocked on many occasions from movie and TV spoofs to blogs all across the internet, yet some people still feel the need to make free moving hand gestures while talking to an audience that can’t see them. It’s beyond logic defying at this point. And how annoying is it when you turn to answer someone’s question only to see them point to their earpiece and smirk… Jokes on you, guy, you look like an idiot.
2. Music without earphones in enclosed spaces It’s as if God set out to punish all public transportation riders by combining the general discomfort of the train and or bus then combining it with poor sound quality elevator music. Unless you’re going for a miniature reenactment of the final scene in Say Anything, there is little to no defense for imposing your own musical stylings on casual commuters. Even with impeccable song choice, from 10 to 50 feet away your cell phone simply sounds like an incessant mockingbird with laryngitis. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, there are a lot of hip new phones on the market. Yes, it’s nice to have an app for nearly every conceivable life situation. Is it necessarily worth the other hassles, however? That’s remains a matter of opinion. For many cell phone users, the simplest form of communication is still the preferred one. To use a Go Phone, traditionally developed for Pay As You Go Plans, you don’t necessarily have to subscribe to that coverage. Almost any phone plan can use a Go Phone device, so why would someone instead opt for rudimentary technology instead of the savvier systems on the market?

1. Price Go Phones are incredibly cheap for what you get. Similar in make and functionality to phones that would have cost more than 100 less than a decade ago, today they retail for less than 20 in many stores.
2. Peace of Mind A corollary to price, the peace of mind comes in knowing that if you drop your cell phone in glass of water, the sink or the ocean you aren’t all of a sudden on the hook for a big billed exchange. Simply go to your local Wal-Mart and pick up another Go Phone, then home the Sim Card is salvageable.
3. Durability The good news about having a tiny, non-touch screen is its nearly impossible to crack. Furthermore, the overall small and rounded shape makes it less vulnerable to the occasional drop, looking more or less like a stone with a speaker box. And with a cheap plastic finish, it’s not like scratches and scrapes are of any major concern. Read the rest of this entry »
