https://www.cbsnews.com/news/outage-map-att-where-cell-phone-service-down/I watched the CBS Evening News last night. The lead story was that there were outages yesterday morning for AT&T Iphone customers. They interviewed a 25 year old man on the street, he was frightened, he said he couldn't use his GPS, even worse, he couldn't text his wife and notify her when he got to work. AT&T has about 100 million cell phone customers. About 100,000 were out of service for several hours. One tenth of one percent of AT&T customers were out of service for 5 hours, and that's the lead story of the national news.

Technology has degraded our culture. People do not read anymore.

The real question is why would you watch CBS news?

The real question is why would you watch CBS news? I watch it, so you don't have to. Every night at 6:30 I switch back and forth for 30 minutes between CBS and ABC Nightly News. I want to see what is going on in the minds of the Lib media. [It is redundant to use the adjective Lib].

Probably by our own gov honestly

That is the nature of technology. Maybe a good time to re-read Industrial Society and Its Future.
For every person pleased with himself that he doesn't rely on an always-internet connected cell phone for directions there is a guy before him who used a compass. And before him a guy who used the sun and stars. And before him a guy who just went in whatever direction the herd of animals he was following went.
I heard nowadays there are people who, before they go for a long trip, go to the "gas station" to "fill up" their "pickup truck" when back in the day people just got on a horse they found wandering the plains and rode off without even knowing what a saddle was while wearing clothes made from an animal they killed with a rock What a bunch of soft, spongy, silver spooners you moderns are.

Theres always those and always have been those that have trouble getting by if there is a single hickup in their normal routine. There are still plenty of us that just keep on rolling. Always has been hysteria just hysteria over different things.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

I was just thinking about the 10 [?] year old show about kids/teens who are addicted to phones/computers/play station.
The Trailer of the show showed their total freak-outs- wrecking the house, crying screaming going into catatonic hyperventilating trance. Unable to function outside the pixel world. There are many millions of them.
It was hilarious.

I caught the tail end of the story- Sebastian Gorka- it was like 1/4 of all cell phones.
Mines could have been off- still might be off- I'm a loner who couldn't care less.
