>When will the smartphone fad end?

I've literally never seen a more retarded and out of touch post in my life.

>>38173629

NEVER EVER, they're too useful.

>>38173629
There's no going back anymore.

>>38173650
>NEVER EVER, they're too useful.
tell me right now what meaningful thing do you do on your phone other than messaging and calling

>>38173629
Never. It's a new paradigm.

>I've literally never seen a more retarded and out of touch post in my life.
fuck you poser
10 years from now when everyone is using flips you are gonna be so embarrassed you made this post

>>38173682
GPS, shitpost, order pizza, get laid

When they're replaced by implants. By the way, if you have ever so much as touched a smartphone you need to leave this board.

>>38173682
The major ones
>camera
>gps (sat nav)/maps
>internet browsing (I don't mean facebook, but stuff like seeing how much somethings worth online when shopping or if you need info)

Others (mainly for normies)
>facebook
>games

Aren't tech glasses going to be the thing soon?

I want to get one that looks like a scouter. I can't wait.

smartphones are amazing when your computer dies.

my phone can run DS games on full fps and i can entertain myself for days

You're a teenager living like an 80 year old man. Maybe you should just kill yourself.

>>38173780
>if you have ever so much as touched a smartphone you need to leave this board.
Said the tech illiterate old man.
Gonna call me a normie and be upset?

>>38174044
You're a fucking moron. Normies use microwaves, are you against microwaves too?

Imbecile.

>>38174056
Whoa, you're tough. Make sure you're just like everyone else or someone might think you're weird.

>>38174044
>blaming this many people
have you ever considered that it's you who has a problem?

>>38174097
>Whoa, you're tough.
I used to ruck 8 miles every few days along with weight lifting.
And I have done roofing before.
Im not tough but im not a fucking cry baby because someone uses a cell phone.

>>38174085
Just fuck off you namefagging piece of shit. Smartphones, Facebook, Tinder, Twitter and everything else that comes with them are all for fucking normies.

What part of this don't you understand? Oh yeah that's right, it's probably because you don't belong on this board in the first place. Get the fuck out of here and make /r9k/ a better place

>>38173629
when the AI-created RFID implant virtual reality fad starts

enjoy your transition, losers

>>38174162
I don't care that you use a cell phone. You want bad posture? You want poor vision? You want to ignore the world around you? Suit yourself. But stop coming to /r9k/, you are the freak here. Leave.

>>38174197
Been on 4chan before this shit board was made.
Not to mention everyone has a cell phone.
My 80 year old grandmother has a cell phone.
I call my weed dealer on my cell phone.
Its a flashlight and a porn holder for me.

FUCK YOU NIGGERS.
I used to post on storm front while shitposting and learning on pol.

>>38174244
>You want to ignore the world around you?
Most r9k users do

The Samsung/Apple jews selling a different model every year is what bothers me (and of course the normies fall for it like the dumbfucks that they are). There's absolutely no reason to have 8 gb ram and fucking octa-core processors on a fucking phone. It only encourages Pajeet developers to make unoptimized apps.

>>38174383
Most /r9k/ users are melodramatic failed normies. Robots detest society, but embrace the natural world.

>>38174044
>Being a contrarian faggot

>>38174444
Of course. Nothing fuels consumerism like itself

Posting from a smartphone atm just try and stop me

>>38174541
Yeah, you're such a badass. Cool.

>>38174444
This, OP is a retard but super expensive and powerful smartphones are a meme. Normies want to fit in so they have to get the most popular and expensive brands.I got my phone for $150 and couldn't be happier. checked

That's a good question. A lot of people might be saying that it isn't a fad and that it's become such an integral part of our lives that it will never end, but that's what a 19th century man might've said about a newspaper and we can see those slowly fading away...

what a fucking retarded post

smartphones are like paper dude, they're here to stay, until the next more useful thing is invented, and so on

>>38175541
yeah of course they will get updated with something better, but OP makes it sound like it's just something that will go away

smartphones are the newspapers of today, also the telephones, also the letters, also the music, and so on

>>38174444
> There's absolutely no reason to have 8 gb ram and fucking octa-core processors on a fucking phone
think about what you just said
think about the 1.5 mb floppy drives that were used before. A picture nowadays is bigger than that

>>38174044
there is a difference between not liking something because it's stupid (ie spinners) and not liking something just because it's widely used and useful as fuck, have fun living in the 1800s

>>38175651
Yeah, my AI waifu simulator needs CPU! How else will it keep up realistic chat convos and send artificial nudes I can jack off to?

Fuck, I wrote that as a joke but now I want it.

>>38175716
In what way is a smartphone useful? You don't need to be in constant contact with anyone, unless you're part of the president's security detail.

>>38175952
In nowadays world you nee d to keep in contact

>>38173629
Wrong question. When will the smartphone end?

>>38175952
It's a camera, flip phone, GPS, web browser, flashcard program, shitty vr toy, etc, all in one CONVENIENT device that fits in your POCKET.

caps for the retarded response you were about to give

>>38176570
OK, now tell me why you NEED all of that. As far as I can tell, a person only needs food, water, shelter and perhaps clothing if the weather in their area is severe.
>>38176133
No you don't. There's no reason you can't walk to a friend's house and talk to them in person, other than you being a lazy, techno-crutched twat. They live far away? Mail a letter. (We still have post offices, you know. But can you still write?)

>>38176654
Yeah and I guess you don't NEED the internet that you're using to post. If all you want is just the basic necessities just go commit a crime and get yourself out in prison. They have food, water, clothes, and shelter. What else do you need?

>>38173629
Until a new type of phone replaces them, I'd hate to see what that'd look like, probably 10 times more cancer then smart phones already are.

You get a girls number and pull out a flip phone and its over. Also I guess most of you are NEET's because a smartphone is the only thing that gets me through work.

What could you possibly mean by this

>>38177055
>It won't. Everything we used to know is gone now. There's no going back.
That isn't necessarily a bad thing

>When will the smartphone fad end?

It's not a fad, anon. It's here to stay.

The smartphone itself might become obsolete, but the idea of a personal assistant device will continue. This could be with AR enhanced contact lenses or a literal chip on your hand. Doesnt matter how it'll be in the future, the idea will be with us for as long as technology continues to advance.

The days where people didnt have a phone/camera/mini-computer with them at all times is gone. A relic of the pre-21st century era.

>>38173682
>tell me right now what meaningful thing do you do on your phone other than messaging and calling

Play games (like Pokemon GO), take pictures and videos, use it as a navigator tool when driving, stalk people on Snapchat, etc.

>I'm alienated even on a board for the alienated.

The difference between us and you anon, is that we see reality for what it is and arent completely out of touch with mainstream culture. You apparently have been living under a rock for a long time.

I'm honestly scared of the tech future. Whenever I bring this up, people think I'm crazy. It is still relatively new to us as humans to fully record the health/mental risks associated with us being so intertwined with tech. It has caused a massive change in our behaviour as humans too -- when I'm at the station and 90% of people have their heads buried in their phones, it's kinda fucked up.

First it was radio, then TV, then phones, then mobile phones. It's getting smaller and soon it's gonna be the devils implants

it's all really fucked up

How do we purge this madness from our lives?

>>38180763

We crash the economy making paying for phones/data impossible.

The fad ended a few months ago when I bought a second hand iPhone 4S. Now I wouldn't be without one, though I'll probably upgrade it soon.

Fads are stupid. Smartphones are not. They can be used for technical things outside of what normies use them for.

It would be cool to see what comes next though.

>>38173780
>By the way, if you have ever so much as touched a smartphone you need to leave this board.
Oh stop. All of you. I'm an incel khhv at 22 and I have always been into tech and read everything I could about the iphone before it came out. They're useful and convenient. Doesn't mean everyone who has used them is a normalfag.

>>38176963

not being raped by niggers perhaps?
