you the type of person who thinks everyone should wear name tag to make the city friendlier?

Censor that armpit pussy right now

those are some mighty big milkies

Grayscale. Literally kicked the habit by taking the colors away. I thought I liked reading about politics and science and stuff...turns out I'm just a big baby who likes to stare at pretty colors.

When you turn your phone gray the rest of the world is more vivid by comparison.

how do you do this on iphone?

Are there any Android phones using e-ink displays?

I set it to triple-tap so I could quickly set it back to color if I really need it, like for Waze. Otherwise it's back to grayscale.

I know it sounds really dumb but seriously if you're like me the first time you try to do it you'll give up and go back to color because it's so ugly.

Make it 18+

make the entire internet 18+

Delete the internet.

People just take out their phone and stare at the screens and fiddle with dumb apps to look like they have something better to do, it's a status and ego thing. "Look at me I am connected and must be messaging people and must have so many friends they are constantly messaging me every second" As soon as it becomes culturally reprehensible to do this then people will stop.

I would say about only 5% of phone users are actual power users who are really doing information aggregation on their phone and those fucking retards are going to get hit by a car or walk off a bridge.

I occasionally do this on my PCs too, really comfy at night.

As someone who grew up before smartphones, you zoomers sure do have this strange idea that people constantly walked around everywhere with their head in a newspaper.

People weren't crossing the street and getting hit because they had their head in a newspaper. People weren't getting into accidents every day because they were driving and reading the newspaper.

>have pretty much all recorded knowledge in human history at your fingertips

>people think this is a bad thing
Yeah, I'd much rather stare at the fucking sidewalk or the waiting room wall than learn things or talk to my friends

jokes on you I do it with my camera and creepshot lens

>have pretty much all of recorded knowledge at your fingertips
yes, google and Wikipedia definitely only contain reliable, true information that can be easily searched for and understood. ted talks are fantastic sources of information. everything can be learned through youtube videos. the only people who make the content you're finding are experts in their field. keep on thinking that.
>can instantly communicate with nearly anyone at anytime
assuming they're awake, you have their contact information, and they're available to talk to you, sure, ok.

Yes because you can press f5 and refresh the newspaper right?

ban phoneposting

Is that supposed to be a counter argument? Smart phones really do damage brains after all.

It was supposed to be a joke, you agitated faggot.

hate newspapers

those are some mighty sloots

Why do you gay retarded schizophrenic autistic homosexual aspie faggots use pictures like these as an argument like it means anything. What is the alternative? Stare at the back of thier classmates head while they walk?

No you boomer faggot they are talking to eachother or consuming media or reading or looking at porn which Is more mentally stimulating then looking straight ahead like the good goyim you want them to be.

Kill yourself you fucking faggot

You can set monochrome in developer options.

Zoomer quads speak of truths no Boomer can even come close to comprehend.

>now do as is told, kill yourselves

What's the problem?

Did you forget people can talk while moving user?

90% chance that nobody in that photo is friends with eachother, hence the fact that they are on thier phones.

You fucking idiot Jamal in the back is clearly hooking his niggas in front of them with some drugs. You don't talk to people face to face doing that anymore.

Fuck it shows how out of touch some of you really are

That's a possibility but they do seem to be a distinct group of people. Maybe I'm crazy.

> the guy with no bags has drugs
Okay then. If you say so, user.

>look at OP photo
>see 5 distinctly different races

Sorry Mr Trudeau but despite what propaganda you peddle, diversity is not our strength and these kids clearly understand that and are talking to thier own friends who just so happen to not be right there.

I don't do the druggies so I guess I wouldn't know but I don't think he's doing that either. You're dropping the gun.

Wait, I am reading this on my phone while waiting for the train? Am I a normie????

Are you retarded?

>racist statement not worth responding to
>ok Jow Forums, got it.

>have pretty much all recorded knowledge in human history at your fingertips

And yet all that people do is snapchat to the same people over and over again and get into arguments on twitter.

Now the question which I have is why do you actually care? I mean if ppl want to spent their lifetime taking selfies, browsing cancer websites use a social network just to show off that they are plebs. Let them.

They will fall and fall hard. We will rise and then laugh at them. Relax Jow Forums.

LOL WHAT A BUNCH OF ATTENTION WHORING SLUTS

I understand the necessity to criticize modern use of technology but can't we just pause for a second and realize we're just mad at ourselves for our lack of communication and social skills?

Faggets

I wish people would stop this egalitarian bullshit as if all instances of "looking at something" is equal regardless of what that something is, or how long they do it.

The affect that something linier like the printed word, compared to hypertext or status updates, has on the brain is not something that can be ignored.

You don't get a burst of dopamine from turning a page of a printed book, but you DO when you get a new piece of digital information presented to you on your phone (because it is engineered to be that way to get you hooked).

>>have pretty much all recorded knowledge in human history at your fingertips
>>can instantly communicate with nearly anyone at anytime
Didn't all you 90s pundits of net utopianism kill yourself after the dot-com crash?

Even the guy who wrote "The Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" said he was being naïve and was wrong.

what about thinking. Oh wait, kids don't do that anymore, you need your phone to provide you with the thought.

i use my phone mainly for reading books.

nice projection

I don't think removing colors will help those that like to learn off the internet. (posting while in monochrome mode)

one of the three words kids know these days. People glued to their phone are zombies and nothing more.

No but you can turn the page. OMG. That is so alien! It's almost as fancy as clicking on a hyperlink.

>walking home from train station earlier

The only problem is I still need to watch where I'm going.

Except that neurologically that's not what happens. Stop spouting bullshit when there have been studies on the differences between linier text and hypertext.

i'm only 28 and i would never have dreamed of swearing at my grandparents

This context makes it hilarious

Smartphones are likely to survive a global EMP. They're small, so they are harder to destroy with an EMP. People in 3rd world countries which barely have functionomg electricity have smartphones

But think of all the upvotes.

Gonna try, thx for the tip

I'd want it more for the ambient lighting and ~100+ hours of battery charge

there are mock dances you can do

We put smartphones in our heads, become mindless drones for real and be controlled by the jew illuminati following reptile aliens' masterplan. We also become death machines, abandon anything good about our culture istantly and sign the premature end of life on this planet.

I guess im a dumbass because i read books on my smartphone while in waiting rooms instead of becoming friends with everyone around me magically. Like they did before smart phones, where everyone had more friends, were more socially accepting, and no hate among their fellow peers.

>becoming friends with everyone around me magically.

nah, we flipped through magazines ninety miles an hour or stared at the television bolted to the wall showing the phil donahue show

like any othern problem, by shitposting on Jow Forums

Baste boomer thinking he actually fought for anyone's rights in vietnam
