Excellent point and further proof they are indeed morons.

They are measuring people who haven’t gotten cell phones yet.

Gary...are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that possession of a cell phone is in any way a sign of intelligence?

I don't know how you can watch the average dumbass with a phone smarter than they are and think intelligence has anything to do with it. I have been nearly hit so many times I've lost count by dumbasses paying more attention to the damn phone than to their driving.

I have too, and probably several times. one of the things that gets me really crazy is when I'm watching a movie or something on TV and the person I'm watching with (it's more often a guy) feels compelled to consult his fucking phone a dozen or so times during the movie.

wtf is so important?

No. But it is a sign they acknowledge living in the 21st century.

yes, but then what?

and what's so swell about this century?

for me, it's brought no joy at all and plenty of the opposite.

now that's only me, but it's what I know best.

I quite enjoyed the twentieth century. I know it was a nightmare, but I liked it (the half to which I had access). this one's been an unmitigated disaster, made tolerable only by dogs. and one of mine seems like he might be on the way out.

add to this a computer at death's door on which I have no access to my files.

perfect fucking storm.

Do you have anything like Geek Squad there in NYC? Traveling computer techs, will come to your house. A new desktop (or a reconditioned one) can be gotten for under $200, have them ghost your old desktop onto it.
