Why do people let themselves get so distracted by their phones? I've often seen teenagers almost walk into traffic because they were too busy on their iPhone or Samsung to be aware of their surroundings.

I myself once walked into a street sign while messaging a friend, but after that, and seeing how bad everyone else was, it got me wondering what's so addictive about smartphones, and it also got me to put the fucking thing down every once in a while.

Darwinism at work, my friend :^)

Because it's a pocket computer that let's them message anyone instantaneously with internet access and lots of distracting flashy blinking icons and games

It has become the norm now that every single traffic light is blocked by some idiot who sits there texting until someone honks at him to remind him that he's actually in traffic. It's like a bad joke that just doesn't stop.

This. Even if see through phones become a thing, it won't make a difference because people hold their phones down, not in front of them straight on

Someone needs to replace that phone with a dick drawing

This is why I chose not to get anything more than a dumb phone.

I'm already on the computer all the time I'm at home. I don't need that when I'm out and about, too.

I would plow that tight pussy.

Why is it only iphones and Samsung's op? Am I safer for doing the same thing with a Motorola?
>>
>>54285309
Yes. Anyone smart enough to not fall for viral marketing and do their own research for other brands should be fine.
>>
>>54281081
already hat 3 car crashes this year because of my phone, this needs to stop. seriously!
>>
>>54286787
How is it your phones fault and not your own?
>>
>>54286948
okay not because of my phone. i had the crash because i was doing anything unnecessary on my phone. you really thought i would blame i on my phone?
>>
>>54287030
I know people who would.

So yes, I really did consider that a possibility for an anonymous person online.
>>
No idea but it annoys me as hell that it has become socially acceptable to be more focused on your phone than being where you actually are... if you would rather talk to whoever you are texting on your phone why not just go and talk with that person? Sometimes I truly feel like a dinosaur...

germans already putting in lights placed on the floor to stop this

What the fuck do people do on their phones? On the train I can only use my phone for 20min Max.

I use smartphone using fags as sketch subjects. They're too busy tweeting to notice me drawing dicks next to their mouths. They're all pretty bro though when I show them the result.

That's parents fault for allowing television and advertising educating their children.

I grew with drugs, alcohol and degenerate friends that partied often than going to school so I had no time for all that - hence today I don't even take my phone with me when I go somewhere, literally because there is 0 brainwashing inside my head.
>>
Doesn't bother me as much as the fact, that I, as the driver, get the majority - if not all - of the blame, if someone walks mindlessly into the traffic while looking at their phone instead of the road.

>often seen teenagers almost walk into traffic because they were too busy on their iPhone or Samsung to be aware of their surroundings.

That's the moment where I inch close to them, push the clutch down and rev the engine hard.
It always makes them jump.
Give it a try, it's hilarious and serves as a little wakeup call.
Haven't managed to make anyone drop their phones or tablets yet though.

But the performance of the newest iPhone and the newest Samsung device is really nice except the price.

That gif isn't realistic at all...

People don't just fall down like that, they either flail their arms or at least try to minimise damage to the core by assuming a fetal or fetal-like position.
