You guys are dating yourselves. The best I can come up with is that Tesla came up with the idea. Later on in the 30s HG Wells wrote a couple books that mentioned wireless communication. He predicted this as he did many other future inventions. What makes it interesting are his VIP connections to several illuminati members. He had a role to play too. http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks03/0301391h.html http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks02/0200221.txt

Given my importance in the grand scheme of things, if I would need to be hyper-paranoid and delusional to think anyone could find some nefarious use for knowledge of when and where I want to identify birds by their sounds.

Very useful, to be sure, but totally overused by everybody. I’m part of one of the last generations who grew up without them, so I’m nearly incompetent at the finer points of operation. There are quite a few days I don’t use it at all. I’ve got fat freakin fingers, so I seldom text except for important things, groceries and things like that. I could give it up without too much more than an inconvenience. It kills me to see people, especially families, sitting at a table and staring at a device in their palm, ignoring the very people they’re with at the time. And it really annoys me seeing kids tweens and younger doing the same. They should be learning to interact and communicate with each other socially. I still think there’s probably a special place in hell for the people who have forced these things on us. 7mm "Preserving the Constitution, fighting off the nibblers and chippers, even nibblers and chippers with good intentions, was once regarded by conservatives as the first duty of the citizen.

The more we use them in our day to day life the more REQUIRED they will be to simply conduct normal life activities. Wearables and the Internet of Things is another technology which will destroy our future. Don't buy stuff connected to the internet, or at least don't connect stuff to the internet just because you can. Don't connect your pets or your livestock or your kids to the internet. Learn how old tech works. It is JUST as good functionally and you and your kids will be glad in the future. Remember that carburetor video. You will glad you learned how it worked in the future.

I do have a cell phone, but where I live the signal is so bad that it is not a reliable way to communicate, so it stays in my truck. I then forget to carry it on my person when signal is available. It is handy when I go on trips. miles Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

The problem is not the useful app that you may use. The problem is the deep dependency that constant cell phone use will create in society. There is a time coming when you will not be able to conduct normal life activities without a phone or it's equivalent. That is VERY bad.

And I hate it when I try to do some sort of business or get something done and am told "There's an app for it". I have only a vague notion what an app is.

I have a cell phone but rarely use it. Not much point taking it when there's no service most of the places I go hunting/fishing. I used to take it to work with me in case of a breakdown as I have roadside assistance with my car insurance. The only problem being that I had no service for most of the way there.
