I call bullshit. There's no fucking way you'll be using it just while in waiting rooms. I see too many people becoming zombies to that shit. My brother's, brother in law just recently started explaining his IPhone to me and all it could do at a BBQ. After 3 minutes, I said, "Jimmy I'm going out to play wiffle ball with the kids." He stayed inside and did whateverthefuck on his phone. He's 38 and very soft.
Btw - I crushed the kids in home run derby.
You call bullshit all you like, doesn't make you right.
I use my iPhone apps to help in my day-to-day. I suck at math, so I've got an app to figure out how much each person should put in for tip when eating out. I've got apps to help me find local attractions so I can, ya know, go out with friends and enjoy their company. I've got apps to keep my friends and their kids amused in situations where we have to wait and I've got apps to keep amused when I'm stuck waiting.
Really, this bitter attitude towards a phone is idiotic in my opinion. Yes, some people get wrapped up in their apps and their toys and ignore others. Before the phone, they woulda gotten wrapped up in something else. I can't count the number of times I've been ignored for an old-fashioned book at social gatherings, or when I was younger, completely ignored others by reading at family gatherings and when eating out.
What they have doesn't really matter, it just matters if they'd rather be doing something else than spending time with the people around them.
