A couple without cellphones is more connected than a couple *with* cellphones

Looking back on some ancient photos from 40-50 being ago, I was struck by how visible the differences were between the culture of then, versus the culture of now. In some cases, it was evident from the things people wore, or carried, or did, back then which they no longer do now. But sometimes it was the contrary: things that didn’t exist back in the 1960s and 1970s have be converted into a pervasive part of now’s culture.

A excellent example is the mobile: 20 being ago, it simply didn’t exist. Even ten being ago, it was a relatively uncommon sight, and usually only on major streets of huge cities. Now, of course, cell phones are everywhere, and everyone is by them in a variety of culture contexts.

Though, I don’t reckon this is a permanent experience; after all, if you reckon back to the ahead of schedule 1980s, you doubtless would have seen a lot of people carrying Sony Walkmans, or "boom-box" portable radios — all of which have disappeared…

If Moore’s Law (which basically says that computers double in power each 18 months) holds up for another decade, then we’ll have computerized gadgets approximately 100 times less vital, quicker, cheaper, and better — which means far better integration of music, camera, messaging, and phone, but also the possibility of the devices being so tiny that they’re embedded into our eyeglasses, our earrings, or a tattoo on our brow.

So the point of this album is to provide a frame of allusion — so that we can (hopefully) look back 10-20 being from now, and say, "Wasn’t it really weird that we behaved in such bizarre ways while we interacted with those primitive devices?"

It was also in print in a Nov 25, 2009 blog with the same title as the one I place on the Flickr image, i.e., "A couple without cellphones is more connected than a couple *with* cellphones."

Moving into 2010, the photo was in print in an Apr 26, 2010 blog titled "Mobile: go prepaid or contract?" And it was in print in an Aug 26, 2010 blog titled "What’s So Incorrect With Facebook Seats?

I’m looking at getting 2 cell phone shape from Verizon. One for me, one for my mom (I’m 17). A situation in the Verizon house got me wondering if I could do some negotiation on my phone and the contract.

I was having distress picking my phone, I was really dragging my feet, so the sales guy says “tell you what, you buy this Razr2(I want this phone terrible!) and I’ll toss this Razr1 in for you mom. We finished up leaving without signing anything, but his small give gave me an thought..

What sort of negotiations can I do? What sort of commission does the sales guy get for the sale? Could I work him down to charitable me the Razr2 for $ 150, instead of $ 250. I know they’re already subsidized, but when I sign a 2 year contract I’m agreeing to pay 70 bucks for 24 months, thats 16 hundred bucks!.

My dads a federal employee, so we get 15% off the bill. Just thought I’d share that with you guys, so what do you reckon? What kind of negotiatiosn can i do?

Answer by bic
first of all i wouldn’t pay 150 for a phone. gey something cheaper.

Answer by Cake or Death
Razrs are nearly as over-rated as iPhones. They may look really cool, but they’re so fragile, they might as well be made of tissue paper. Don’t listen to sales people when it comes to contracts unless you can READ it in writing. Oral contracts are NOT valid after you sign anything.

I would go to the website below and visit the “best rate guide” and “cell phone info” links in the types of service section! You can perform any kind of comparison of phones and service in your area. I’ve found this to be much more reliable and less expensive than going to a phone store! These guys really know their stuff and with quality links too! I subscribe to the RSS feed since I travel a lot and use cell phone antennas in the ways they recommended to avoid dropped calls and it works really well! I bookmarked this site so I can come back to it easily while travelling and use all the info.
